Odyssey Marine in the news again: HMS Victory found?

Odyssey Marine Exploration is expected to announce on Monday that it has found HMS Victory, the forerunner of Nelson's famous flagship of the same name.

The valuables from the vessel, including brass cannons, could be worth millions of pounds, some experts say.

If confirmed, the find could trigger a row with the British government.

The remains from HMS Victory have been reportedly found in international waters.

But as a military wreck, they officially belong to the British state.

Hi David:

Great site! FYI, you may want to see Archaeology Magazine, March/April 2009 for an article about Odyssey Marine.
