Thames Wrecks

The Thames is probably Britain’s most famous river, used heavily for shipping for centuries. Over time vessels have sunk, and recently a team examined the Thames Estuary area for wrecks, finding seven – some dating back 350 years – and removing them so modern shipping isn’t damaged. The Evening Standard has an article which explains in more detail, but they also have two photographs of the wrecks as they were discovered, looking spookily clear.
