When the Gloucester sank in 1682, many of its passengers were lost — except for James Stuart, future King of England. Now, the shipwreck’s location has finally been revealed off the coast of England 340 years later.
The wreck of The Gloucester, lost since it sank over 300 years ago, has been discovered by two brothers on a childhood quest.
The discovery was only made public Friday because of the time it took to confirm the identity of the ship and the need to protect the historical site.
The Gloucester shipwreck – in which James Stuart, later King James II of England and Ireland and King James VII of Scotland, nearly lost his life – was found in 2007 and only revealed now.
