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.
