Available for over a year

Artefacts from HMS Invincible are going on public display for the first time. The 18th century warship sank in the Solent on her way to Canada, and her wreck was preserved in the silt for over 200 years. Since being discovered in the 1960s, archaeologists and divers have been meticulously excavating the site and recovering the artefacts, as Neil Sackley has been discovering.
