Beneath the Surface ⇒ The Galleon
The Galleon lies on a ledge in 5 metres of water in the furthest south-eastern corner of Stoney Cove.
This wreck feature was constructed by the Midland Underwater Archaeological Group from 17th-century timbers salvaged from a cottage in Northamptonshire.
There is even a cannon and cannon balls nearby. As a reproduction of an ancient wreck, it is remarkably convincing. It makes an ideal environment for training aspiring underwater archaeologists in the skills of sketching and recording finds.
