Artifacts recovered from Spanish Armada ship

Stormy weather off the coast of Ireland has exposed a ship from the Spanish Armada, allowing divers to recover artifacts.

“We have uncovered a wealth of fascinating and highly significant material, which is more than 425 years old,” she said.

“The National Monuments Service believes that all of the material has come from La Juliana, one of the three Armada ships wrecked off this coastline in 1588. On current evidence, the other two wreck sites remain buried beneath a protective layer of sand, but the wreck of La Juliana is now partly exposed on the seabed along with some of its guns and other wreck material.”
