Britain’s coasts are littered with shipwrecks, meaning thousands of haunting artefacts and in some cases – lucrative treasure – are resting on the sea floor.
Up to 300 items were found in 2023, a BBC Freedom of Information request revealed.
A 200-year-old elephant tusk, coins from the Spanish Armada, plane parts, iron swords and a jar of Marmite were among the items found and reported to the Receiver of Wreck last year.
Human bones, mammoth bones and a French-made 2.5 tonne 17th Century bronze cannon were also on the list.
