On these occasions Castle and Royal Yacht exchanged pyrotechnic courtesies as the one passed close by the other. Here Britannia passes the wreck-site of an earlier ship with strong royal associations. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level

On-line Digital Images On-line Digital Images DP 173665 Starboard framing and ceiling planking as they emerge from the forward ballast-mound. Scale 1 m. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level
On-line Digital Images On-line Digital Images DP 173666 Clay pipe lying on top of gravel consolidation placed to protect a freshly eroding organic deposit noted in October 1992. The pipe was observed in this position a month later. The shingle was clean, and obtained from a gravel deposit on shore. Since the pipe is consistent in form and typological dating to others noted in secure archaeological contexts on the wreck it may be presumed that it was displaced from elsewhere on the site and transported by water-movement to its present location. Scale in centimetres. (Archaeological Diving Unit) 1994 Item Level
On-line Digital Images On-line Digital Images DP 173667 Eroding frame timbers on the port side of the hull at the point where the floor timbers overlap with the first futtocks, close to the turn of the bilge. An edge of ceiling planking can be seen facing the camera. The photograph was taken before the structure was partially excavated for recording, and a process of slow erosion was evident. Scale 1 metre. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level

On-line Digital Images On-line Digital Images DP 173669 Eroding frame timbers on the port side of the hull at the point where the floor timbers overlap with the first futtocks, close to the turn of the bilge. An edge of the outer planking can be seen facing the camera, beyond is an edge of a ceiling plank inside the hull. Scale 20 centimetres. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level

On-line Digital Images On-line Digital Images DP 173680 Floor timbers showing the rising set of the frames as they approach the bow. Relatively well preserved outer plank runs are visible, together with abraded segments of ceiling planking. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level
On-line Digital Images On-line Digital Images DP 173681 Bottom centre is the large rock on which the ship evidently impaled itself. The displaced timbers surrounding the rock are fragmented pieces of the hull, showing that the rock was in this position when the sinking vessel struck it, causing major damage to the port bow quarter. No timbers extend under the rock. Metre graduations are visible on the grid-pole. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level

No timbers extend under the rock. Gun 6 is visible on the upper right. Metre graduations are visible on the grid-pole. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level
On-line Digital Images On-line Digital Images DP 173683 Unidentified iron concretion (not raised). It may perhaps be a chain-plate. The dislocated timbers around it derive from the smashed lower port quarter of the hull, while finds in the vicinity include elements attributable to the galley, which would have been located in the forecastle above this part of the ship. A brick, probably from the firebox, can be seen near the centre of the picture, just below the grid-pole. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level
On-line Digital Images On-line Digital Images DP 173684 Smashed and dislocated timbers deriving from the broken lower port quarter of the hull. Part of a large rock upon which the hull evidently impaled itself is visible at the upper right. Scale 20 centimetres. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level
On-line Digital Images On-line Digital Images DP 173685 The muzzle end of Gun 2, lying on the aft ballast-mound. The stones are typical of this mound. The common sea urchin (Echinus esculentus) is frequently prolific on this part of the wreck. Scale 20 centimetres. (Colin Martin) 1994 Item Level
