HMS Colossus new diver trail

37K views · 747 reactions | A remarkably rare Bronze Age sword has been discovered! ⚔️ It was found during investigations on the protected wreck sites off the Devon coast near Salcombe by volunteer divers Becky Gill and Catherine Gill, from the South West Maritime Archaeological Group. We funded a project to recruit new members and to pass knowledge and skills to a new generation of maritime archaeology volunteers, delivered in partnership with MSDS Marine and MSDS Heritage. Following conservation, the sword will be donated to the British Museum, where it will be studied and made accessible for future research. | Historic England
