A 3,000 year old Bronze Age trading vessel – the oldest shipwreck ever found
in British waters – has been located off the coast of Devon in South
West<http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/news/britains-oldest-shipwreck-discovered-of-devonshire-coast-1903687.html#>England.

It went down around 900 BC carrying a precious cargo of tin and copper
ingots from the continent, and has lain undetected on the seabed in just
eight to ten metres of water in a bay near Salcombe ever since. Experts have
hailed the discovery – one of only four Bronze Age vessels found in British
waters – as “extremely important,” and “genuinely exciting.”
