Bronze Age shipwreck found off Devon coast
Bronze Age shipwreck found off Devon coast
One of the world’s oldest shipwrecks has been discovered off the coast of Devon after lying on the seabed for almost 3,000 years. The trading vessel was carrying an extremely valuable cargo of tin and hundreds of copper ingots from the Continent when it sank. Experts say the “incredibly exciting” discovery provides new evidence about the extent and sophistication of Britain’s links with Europe in the Bronze Age as well as the remarkable seafaring abilities of the people during the period.

150th Anniversary of the Wreck of the SS Admella
In the early hours of August 6th 1859, the SS Admella struck submerged rocks off Carpenters Reef on the southern coast of South Australia. Her hull broke into three parts, leaving desperate survivors clinging to the wreckage. Despite the best efforts of volunteers from across the the newly formed colonies of Victoria and South Australia, 89 lives were lost, making the wreck one of the worst maritime disasters in Australian history. Miraculously, given the conditions, 24 survived an eight day ordeal as rescuers battled storms, high seas and the reef to bring the survivors to shore.
On the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the wreck, the week-long Admella 150 Festival commemorates the tragedy while celebrating the volunteerism that finally brought the survivors to safety against all odds. The festival continues through August 16th.
British shipwreck holds £2.6 billion treasure, explorers claim
Salvagers claim to have found the world’s richest wreck – a British ship sunk by a Nazi submarine while laden with a £2.6 billion cargo that included gold, platinum and diamonds.
From the Telegraph.co.uk by Jasper Copping
In a project shrouded in secrecy, work is due to start on recovering the cargo, which was being transported to the United States to help pay for the Allied effort in the Second World War.
The scale of the treasure trove is likely to unleash a series of competing claims from interested parties. Salvage laws are notoriously complex and experts say there could be many years of legal wrangling ahead.
In order to protect its find until the cargo is brought to the surface, the company that located the wreck has not released the name of the vessel or its exact location, but has given the ship the code name “Blue Baron”.

Divers close in on lost fortune of Ann Cargill, a scandalous star
An intriguing news story. (Thanks to LizMc on the Horatians forum.) According to the BBC, Ann Carghill was “was the Britney Spears of her day.” I think they slight poor Ms Cargill.
“When the packet ship, The Nancy, was wrecked off the Isles of Scilly in 1784 one of the victims included Ann Cargill, one of the most famous and highest paid Opera singers of the time and whose numerous affairs and elopements had scandalised London.”
