The Wreck Register has been created within the framework of a three-year collaboration project "Shipwreck Heritage: Digitizing and Opening Access to Maritime History Sources". The project, known by the acronym SHIPWHER, was launched in 2010 and was carried out by the Estonian National Heritage Board, the National Archives of Estonia, the Estonian Maritime Museum and the Swedish National Maritime Museums. The project was financed by the European Regional Development Fund via the Central Baltic INTERREG IVA Programme.

The Wreck Register contains information collected mainly about shipwrecks in Estonian waters. The information has been collected in the course of fieldwork, and also from various archives. The majority of the more than one thousand entries in the Wreck Register, are made on the basis of archival materials and newspapers published in the Netherlands, Tallinn and Riga. In Estonia, relevant materials have been searched for in the Estonian Historical Archives of the National Archives, State Archives and Tallinn City Archives. Regarding foreign archives, the Wreck Register contains information collected from the National Archives of Sweden, the National Archives of the Netherlands, Lübeck City Archives and the Amsterdam City Archives.

Information is inserted and published on an ongoing basis also after the end of the project.
