- Synopsis
- The wreck of a 16th-century ship, possibly the most important marine archaeological find since the ‘Mary Rose’ was discovered in the English Channel off the coast of Alderney. Archaeologists had to battle fast tide to save it, then experts had to piece together clues to establish the ship’s identity and fate. It is suspected that it was one of Francis Drake’s fleet sent to repel the Spanish Armada.
