Divers find HMS London
Submitted by cac on Tue, 2008-08-26 22:18Divers discover amazingly preserved shipwreck of HMS London on bottom of Thames
The largest-ever post-war salvage operation on the Thames has discovered seven shipwrecks up to 350 years old.

Make sure and follow the link for some slick pictures.
