Littleneckhalfshell Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Found the following on another forum I follow regarding the HMS London mentioned by William Brand back in March....... Posted by William Brand on 07 March 2014 - 12:11 PM in Captain Twill 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. http://www.southendstandard.co.uk/news/echo/11223263.17th_century_Southend_shipwreck_to_give_up_its_secrets_with_new_English_Heritage_excavation/?ref=nt http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/may/16/divers-emergency-thames-shipwreck-climate-change-london?CMP=twt_gu No Fear Have Ye of Evil Curses says you...
