March 7 - On this day in 1665, the second rate 'HMS London' accidentally exploded in the Thames Estuary, killing 300 crewmen.

Lots of more information in these links regarding the continuing conservation and recovery of artifacts from this time capsule of a British Man of War at the beginning of the GAOP. They even have SHOES! Hopefully much more to come.

Hope the news keeps coming. Nice Salt Glazed bottle among the artifacts, just wish the diver video was more informative.
