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

Hi Cathryn, looks like an iron carronade/gunnade with breeching loop c. 1800. What do you think @baliscoe.bsky.social

The YouTube version of the latest History Hit doc on the Northumberland has just been released. A great balance of the history and archaeology of the ship and the need to do much more while it is exposed on the Goodwin Sands. #NavalHistory #Archaeology youtu.be/UsWFfv6-jiM?...

Very interesting piece on the wreck of HMS Northumberland, lost off the Kent coast during the 'Great Storm' of 1703 - well-preserved, but eroding... @danpascoe79.bsky.social

#ProtectedWreck Northumberland makes the News again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #NavalHistory #Archaeology

Warship wrecked in 1703 near Kent is more complete than expected - BBC News

Archaeologists say the wreck site "remains high risk" as moving sand exposes the wooden vessel.

@seaspitfires.com and other WWII experts, were some LCAs converted for carrying fuel. A LCA at Forton Lake has fuel tanks in the space where the troops were. See images. With @archsoton50.bsky.social #Archaeology

The exposed nature of the site is an opportunity for the @archsoton50.bsky.social students to see the organisation and layout of the ships stores, provisions and guns

Hazardous is a perfect site for @archsoton50.bsky.social students to learn about the construction of a wooden ship and for developing underwater searching skills.

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

It will give context to the wreck investigation of the Northumberland. I haven’t seen it, what’s your verdict?

Dan Pascoe @danpascoe79.bsky.social · May 20

The sands shifted in 2014 exposing the site and have not returned. Climate change is not helping. More frequent high energy weather and sea conditions are washing out the sand and silts, which were trapped in the wreck. Marine borers eating the exposed wood. We’re losing it at an alarming rate.

Dan Pascoe @danpascoe79.bsky.social · May 18

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

£15m Heritage at Risk Capital Fund for Historic England to give grants for buildings, gardens and scheduled monuments is good news. I hope one day shipwrecks will receive similar. In my quest to make shipwrecks visible checkout #ProtectedWreck Hazardous latest video youtu.be/mSg1lhLW-M4?...
