Sunken battleship found after 250 years
The greatest mystery in British naval history has finally been solved, with the discovery of the final resting place of the HMS Victory.
Its looks would intimidate enemies, and its superior armaments warranted the name. The Victory was the mightiest Royal Navy warship of its time and was considered to be unsinkable. But the unthinkable happened in 1744, when the ship disappeared without a trace.
A crew working on the ship Odyssey has pinpointed portions of the wreck in the English Channel, nearly 70 miles from where the ship was believed to have sunk. The discovery includes 41 bronze cannon of the 110 installed on the Victory, which was the last Royal Navy warship equipped with a full complement of cannon. Four tons of golden coins that scientists say were on the ship have yet to be found.
"Bringing up the cannon of the Victory was definitely the best moment of my 25 years in this business," said Gregory Stemm, co-founder of the Odyssey. "This is as exiting as it gets, because we solved a mystery that kept historians and salvagers puzzled for more than two centuries."
