Meanwhile, more finds at Fournoi. This area has yielded numerous ships over the years: Fournoi
Fournoi II Triceratops and Islanddawn, as usual I wanted to post the find from my daily entry BBC world, but now I see already too late, but nevertheless I insert the BBC entry, which don't say more than the messages from you. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45951132My comment: By the modern technology they can search deeper and deeper and so find untouched wrecks. But perhaps the pirates have also that technology and can do the same... when money is at stake...but perhaps in this more and more interconnected and policed by satellites world there is little chance to hide it all? And yes as you need that much capital for such research the investment from pirate point of view is not worth the benefits? Kind regards to both from Paul. |

| https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-46624382It's taken 10 years, but professional diver Grahame Knott has finally found a US Air Force plane that crashed into the Channel in 1969. The wreck may help resolve a mystery: did the homesick mechanic who made off with the aircraft from his base in Suffolk lose control - or was he shot down? Kind regards from Paul. |

| This may not be entirely appropriate for this thread as it doesn't concern marine "archaeology" per se but I've been watching Sky News Live on YouTube and they had a feature about the amount of plastic that ends up in the sea - and then washed up on various shores of diverse countries. There was an interview among others with a professor from Ghent (I forget his name, I'm sorry) but he had found that plastic was winding up inside mussels and from there getting into the human food chain. Then there were some volunteers cleaning up an Indian beach (though one can't help feeling they may be facing something like King Canute (Cnut?) trying to tell the tide not to come in). It seems to be a problem all over the world - I thought one lady interviewed who ran a B&B was American by her accent but it turned out she was living in Scotland. The problem of throwing rubbish in a "throwaway society" is a real one though - both at sea and on land.
