Notable shipwrecks discovered

  • Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes (Our Lady of Mercy in English) - Spanish frigate which was sunk by the British...off the south coast of Portugal on 5 October 1804 during the Battle of Cape Santa Maria. The TV episode was produced believing the wreck to be the Merchant Royal, but later investigation now points to it being the Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes. The recovered treasure had to be returned to Spain after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
  • Marqise de Tornay - A French privateer.
  • HMS Victory - A first-rate ship of the line of the British Royal Navy.
  • RMS Laconia - An ocean liner transformed into an armed merchant cruiser during World War I, sunk by a German U-boat. Also known as the Silver Queen due to the precious metals on board when sunk.
