Legendary English Warship Found

..........In a secret operation over the course of many months, the US treasure-hunting company Odyssey Marine Exploration has managed to locate the sunken ship 100 meters (328 feet) below the surface of the English Channel. Following 23 dives made between May and October, 2008, there is now "no doubt" that the wreck is indeed the HMS Victory, according to the 46-page report detailing the successful search. Company founder Greg Stemm officially confirmed the find in the Canary Wharf Four Seasons Hotel on Monday. "From an archaeological and historical perspective," Stemm said, "this is probably the most significant shipwreck find to date."...........
