Exciting new discovery. We have located a historical shipwreck in English Harbour!!!<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Preliminary results are a wooden shipwreck more than 40 meters long and built to 18th century navy specifications. This means massive timber frames and thick planking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Amazingly, the site has remained intact for all these years.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The site was reported by Maurice Belgrave several years ago and we have been working on getting a project together since.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The National Parks are partnered with underwater archaeologists from the University of the Antilles in Martinique and supported by ABSAR.<\/p>\n

The current project includes a remote surveying component and divers mapping the wreck on site.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We will be releasing more information as the mapping and analysis continues.<\/p>\n
