HMS Victory, 1737 video of dive.

Somebody has been sneaking around down there with there ROV !!☠️☠️ cannon pirates !!
 

Wow! Great video. Thanks for sharing this.

My guess is that the cannons were relocated by Odyssey under their recovery contract with the Maritime Heritage Foundation. The UK government approved the recovery project in 2014, after much debate. Exactly when and why the recovery effort ended I haven’t been able to find out. The most recent article I could find on the web is:

I think it was the descendant of captain An in bred lord complained it was violation of war grave. Put up petition in the house of lords that odyssey was tampering with a war grave the UK was soignee too.
