Florida-based deep-sea explorers have reportedly found remains from the wreck of the most famous ship in British naval history that sank in the English Channel 264 years ago.
Odyssey Marine Exploration, a company that found millions worth sunken treasure in 2007, is expected to announced Monday that it has located the
HMS Victory, a warship known as the finest ship in the world.
About two years ago, the company said it had salvaged 17 tones of gold and silver coins, worth $500 million, from a wreckage of a sunken vessel in the North Atlantic.
