The Elizabethan cannon being raised

A treasure trove of artefacts is being recovered from what experts
describe as one of the most important maritime discoveries since the
Mary Rose.

The late 16th Century shipwreck hails from a pivotal point in
England's military history.

The raised haul includes a 2m-long (7ft) cannon, which will give
archaeologists an insight into Elizabeth I's naval might.

The wreck, discovered 30 years ago, is situated off the coast of
Alderney.
