The centuries-old Mortar Wreck was discovered off the coast of Dorset, England in 2020.
Maritime archaeologists have recovered several grave markers from the United Kingdom's oldest shipwreck. The Mortar Wreck, named for its collection of marble mortars found aboard, was discovered off the coast of Dorset, England in 2020 and granted protected status in 2022.
' He believes the ship, which had a 'relatively large cargo,' hit choppy waters as it was departing from Dorset's Poole Harbor. The stone found aboard the ship was likely brought from southern England to Dorset, where it was loaded aboard. For centuries, the items remained at the bottom of Poole Bay.'It was full of stone mortars and burial slabs. I've never seen anything like it,' Pitman told the BBC.
