Shipwreck artefacts recovered off the coast of UK | BBC News

Britain's coasts are littered with shipwrecks, meaning thousands of haunting artefacts and in some cases - lucrative treasure - are resting on the sea floor. Up to 300 items were found in 2023, a BBC Freedom of Information request revealed. A 200-year-old elephant tusk, coins from the Spanish Armada, plane parts, iron swords and a jar of Marmite were among the items found and reported to the Receiver of Wreck last year. Human bones, mammoth bones and a French-made 2.5 tonne 17th Century bronze cannon were also on the list.
