We had a fantastic couple of days diving the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous with @archsoton50.bsky.social . I think we had find of the season. Can you guess what it is? #NavalHistory #Archaeology #Shipwrecks #RoyalNavy

@seaspitfires.com and other WWII experts, were some LCAs converted for carrying fuel. A LCA at Forton Lake has fuel tanks in the space where the troops were. See images. With @archsoton50.bsky.social #Archaeology

The exposed nature of the site is an opportunity for the @archsoton50.bsky.social students to see the organisation and layout of the ships stores, provisions and guns

Hazardous is a perfect site for @archsoton50.bsky.social students to learn about the construction of a wooden ship and for developing underwater searching skills.

Last week @archsoton50.bsky.social maritime students were exploring the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous, a 60 gun warship, lost in Bracklesham Bay in 1706.

A game of spot the difference on the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous. Images show the same area of the forward hold, one from 2019 and the other 2025. There has been no archaeological excavation in this area, all natural. #Archaeology #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory #Shipwrecks

A brill day filming with History Hit, @thehistoryguy.bsky.social and Simon Stephens from the National Maritime Museum and Chatham Historic dockyard. Comparing 70-gun ship’s models with what we are finding on the #ProtectedWreck Northumberland. #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory #Archaeology

The trestle-tree we recently found on #ProtectedWreck Invincible is likely to belong to the main fighting top. Why? Well, we also found the main and preventer stays in 2019. Newspaper articles from March 1758 report the main mast was cut away. #NavalHistory #shipwrecks #Archaeology #MaritimeHistory

Already longing for the new diving season so we can continue our excavation of the gundeck of #ProtectedWreck Hazardous. In the meantime here is a reminder of what we have done so far. #MaritimeHistory #NavalHistory #Archaeology #Shipwrecks #cannon #Gunnery

During recent dives on the rudder of #ProtectedWreck Invincible we came across another 5 metre long timber. Not sure what it was, I asked friends at the NMRN and they ID as a trestle-tree. These supported the fighting tops. A very rare find @hefinmeara.bsky.social #NavalHistory #RoyalNavy
