We had a fantastic couple of days diving the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous with @archsoton50.bsky.social . I think we had find of the season. Can you guess what it is? #NavalHistory #Archaeology #Shipwrecks #RoyalNavy

The YouTube version of the latest History Hit doc on the Northumberland has just been released. A great balance of the history and archaeology of the ship and the need to do much more while it is exposed on the Goodwin Sands. #NavalHistory #Archaeology youtu.be/UsWFfv6-jiM?...

Very interesting piece on the wreck of HMS Northumberland, lost off the Kent coast during the 'Great Storm' of 1703 - well-preserved, but eroding... @danpascoe79.bsky.social

Warship wrecked in 1703 near Kent is more complete than expected - BBC News
Archaeologists say the wreck site "remains high risk" as moving sand exposes the wooden vessel.

A game of spot the difference on the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous. Images show the same area of the forward hold, one from 2019 and the other 2025. There has been no archaeological excavation in this area, all natural. #Archaeology #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory #Shipwrecks

£15m Heritage at Risk Capital Fund for Historic England to give grants for buildings, gardens and scheduled monuments is good news. I hope one day shipwrecks will receive similar. In my quest to make shipwrecks visible checkout #ProtectedWreck Hazardous latest video youtu.be/mSg1lhLW-M4?...

Can anyone help @cathrynpearce.bsky.social identify makers mark from spoon recovered from the naval wreck HMS Brazen 1800?
Photographed some artefacts from wreck of HMS Brazen in 1800. I tried to see if the spoon had been engraved, and who the maker was. It looks like there's a W and an N visible on the back of the stem. Who might be able to help? Recommendations gratefully received! @danpascoe79.bsky.social

The trestle-tree we recently found on #ProtectedWreck Invincible is likely to belong to the main fighting top. Why? Well, we also found the main and preventer stays in 2019. Newspaper articles from March 1758 report the main mast was cut away. #NavalHistory #shipwrecks #Archaeology #MaritimeHistory

Large, multi-stage trade networks provided many jobs, so this wreck provides a unique opportunity to examine peoples' livelihoods in medieval England.

During recent dives on the rudder of #ProtectedWreck Invincible we came across another 5 metre long timber. Not sure what it was, I asked friends at the NMRN and they ID as a trestle-tree. These supported the fighting tops. A very rare find @hefinmeara.bsky.social #NavalHistory #RoyalNavy
