HMS Invincible relics recovered from the watery depths gifted to Navy museum

by Richard Moss, 26-04-18
 
The National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth has taken delivery of a group of rare artefacts recovered from the wreck of the famous eighteenth century warship, HMS Invincible

Recovered from the watery depths of the eighteenth century wreck site of HMS Invincible, these sailors’ possessions have lain on the seabed floor for over 200 years.

The handful of everyday artefacts including shoes, a tankard and grapeshot have been gifted to The National Museum of the Royal Navy at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard by Arthur Mack, who discovered the underwater wreck nearly 40 years ago.
