Shifting sands are revealing the remains of an early 18-th century warship, belonging to Queen Anne's Navy, lost during the great storm of 26th November 1703. The film documents the latest underwater discoveries emerging from the Goodwin Sands, aka 'the ship swallower'. These discoveries are providing an incredible snapshot of life on board a 70-gun Royal Navy warship. However, while the shipwreck is exposed it is under threat from the physical and biological environment, which will ultimately lead to the degradation and loss of a huge amount of archaeological material. More work is needed to record and save this material at risk before it is lost forever.
