Abstract

In shallow water off the coast of West Sussex in England lies the wreck of a French built, English warship, lost in 1706. The remains represent a hybrid of French construction and armament with English organisation and adaption. This paper brings the site’s investigations up to date, discussing new records relating to the structure and internal layout of the main site, as well as the discovery of several new areas, rich in guns and other artefacts.

Additional Information: Funding Information: This paper is a culmination of over 30 years of (ongoing) work by a dedicated team of professional and avocational archaeologists, divers and researchers, who have given so much of their free time and finances to ensure as much information as possible has been recorded before it was lost to natural processes. A special mention must go to the members of the original 308 branch of the Sub Aqua Association and to past and present members of the HPG. The HPG would also like to thank the National Lottery Awards, and, most recently, Historic England for funding, which has contributed to recent site monitoring, investigations and reporting, as well as the costs of the conservation of recovered material.
