The wreck of a royal warship which sank in 1682 has been discovered off the coast of Norfolk after being kept secret for 15 years for security reasons
The HMS Gloucester ran aground some 28 miles off Great Yarmouth following a dispute between James, then the Duke of York, and the ship's pilot James Ayres about navigating the treacherous Norfolk sandbanks.
He accepted no responsibility for the sinking, instead blaming the pilot and wishing him to be hanged immediately, though Mr Ayres was in fact court-martialled and imprisoned. "We were starting to believe that we were not going to find her, we'd dived so much and just found sand. "A tragedy of considerable proportions in terms of loss of life, both privileged and ordinary, the full story of the Gloucester's last voyage and the impact of its aftermath needs re-telling, including its cultural and political importance, and legacy.
The ship set sail from Portsmouth, with James and his entourage joining it off Margate in Kent, having travelled by yacht from London, before it ran aground off the Norfolk coast.
