In 1641 This Ship Sank Off The Coast Of Cornwall, Taking A Trove Of Treasures With It, And The Wreck Has Recently Been Found

However, there are several challenges that come with this endeavor, such as a lack of trained divers, bad weather, and the competition to see who can get their hands on the bounty first.

“The spot where [the anchor] was found is about 300 feet deep—there are very few people qualified to dive that deep,” Mark Milburn, the co-founder of Maritime Archaeology, said.

“I’ll be going out there to have a look, but we’ve got to wait for the right conditions, and because the conditions are so treacherous, the window is very narrow.”

Milburn added that independent treasure hunters will be searching for the loot as well. His main concern is that people will remove objects from the site without letting experts know. If any treasure is found, the valuable discovery must be reported to the British government.
