For those interested in old ships the large wreck of a C17 Dutch armed merchantman lying in Poole Harbour, Dorset is to be raised in its entirety .The only parallel for such a project was the raising of the Mary Rose. Some parts of the ship eg the large carved rudder, have already been raised and can be seen in Poole Museum.

Oh thank you for that info Rollo! Fascinating stuff just like the Mary Rose which has unearthed so many treasures.
