Wreck of renowned British warship found in Channel – Yahoo! News
The AP, Discovery, and a slew of other media outlets are encouraging the world to go savage shipwrecks for booty. The “$hipwreck” headline at the New York Post this morning takes the cake.
Deep-sea explorers who found $500 million in sunken treasure two years ago say they have discovered another prized shipwreck: A legendary British man-of-war that sank in the English Channel 264 years ago.
The wreckage of the HMS Victory, found below about 330 feet of water, may carry an even bigger jackpot. Research indicates the ship was carrying 4 tons of gold coins when it sank in storm, said Greg Stemm, co-founder of Odyssey Marine Exploration, ahead of a Monday news conference in London.
