Last week @archsoton50.bsky.social maritime students were exploring the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous, a 60 gun warship, lost in Bracklesham Bay in 1706.

We had a fantastic couple of days diving the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous with @archsoton50.bsky.social . I think we had find of the season. Can you guess what it is? #NavalHistory #Archaeology #Shipwrecks #RoyalNavy

Those which spontaneously caught fire then blew up after efforts to save them (or scuttling - I am looking at you, HMS Glatton) is a separate list.

None of these involved any other ship/enemy action.

Several of these wrecks are protected, too. #ProtectedWreck

During recent dives on the rudder of #ProtectedWreck Invincible we came across another 5 metre long timber. Not sure what it was, I asked friends at the NMRN and they ID as a trestle-tree. These supported the fighting tops. A very rare find @hefinmeara.bsky.social #NavalHistory #RoyalNavy

Now a #ProtectedWreck. There is a #VirtualDiveTrail referenced on the NHLE page (on the Comments and Photos tab)

There is an excellent excavation report by John Bingeman, too.

The trestle-tree we recently found on #ProtectedWreck Invincible is likely to belong to the main fighting top. Why? Well, we also found the main and preventer stays in 2019. Newspaper articles from March 1758 report the main mast was cut away. #NavalHistory #shipwrecks #Archaeology #MaritimeHistory

Already longing for the new diving season so we can continue our excavation of the gundeck of #ProtectedWreck Hazardous. In the meantime here is a reminder of what we have done so far. #MaritimeHistory #NavalHistory #Archaeology #Shipwrecks #cannon #Gunnery

A game of spot the difference on the #ProtectedWreck Hazardous. Images show the same area of the forward hold, one from 2019 and the other 2025. There has been no archaeological excavation in this area, all natural. #Archaeology #NavalHistory #MaritimeHistory #Shipwrecks

The London was one of the first in a long Royal Navy tradition of ships blowing up...

I’m obsessed with a historic shipwreck: it’s murky and dangerous but diving in the Thames, I feel like a detective
When exploring wrecked warship the London I can barely see six inches ahead, but I’ve dived 500 times to document and save the secrets of this vessel built by Oliver Cromwell
