- A medieval shipwreck known as the “Mortar Wreck” was discovered off England’s southern coast. Scientists were able to test the timbers of the ship and determine that it dates back to the 13th century. The 750-year-old site is the oldest known wreck in which the ship’s hull is still visible. According to maritime archaeologist Tim Cousins, some of the artifacts found in the wreck, “are in immaculate condition, like they were carved yesterday.”
Some of the artifacts being intact is truly amazing.
Without a shadow of doubt this is a stellar find and in the best condition. 👌
Imagine in a few hundred/thousand years people find our structures in the rubble . Such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Statue of Liberty, stadiums and so on .
@@MarioMartinez-tt9ly we would have to be extinct in that case and it would be aliens finding it.
@@MarioMartinez-tt9ly I think it would be a liberty to sea her under water🗽
I live here, didn't even hear a wisoer of this amazing discovery.... wow just WoW.
Not only is it well preserved its in the harbor extremely close to land. Hopefully we can learn more from this wreck
Hmmm. About cooking ware? Sounds exciting.
Maybe it was just left there to rot.
It's not about what we can learn. It's about how much profit.
What would you want to learn from it though? Curious
True
Since its this close to the land can we assume most of the crew survived? I hope it didn't sink in the winter.
I’ve always been scared of the ocean. Somehow this seems like a less frightening ship wreck. Wish i was going back in time sometimes
Even though I have a scuba diving license, I've also always been afraid of the ocean. I think more preserved shipwrecks seem less terrifying; to me, it's because they don't have all that deep sea clutter consuming and creating contorted shapes out of wrecks.
i am too. i played a video game as a child that had a fish swim at you and eat you if you went too far out in the ocean. now that fish is engraved in my brain as a 22 year old
Clear water and the way it’s edited nothing to be scared of
Ocean is the most beautiful thing on this planet nothing more spectacular if I ever want to top my self that's the way I'm going to do it
Because it’s practically on the beach
1:28 That is in incredible condition, after all those years underwater. Always wanted to find hidden treasure.
Im no expert but I think the large amounts of oil they drowned the wood in when building the ships made the wood water repellent for around 100+ years and as time went by the sand started piling up ontop of the wood creating a shield of armor to protect it for all these years
wont find much watching other people find stuff. Gotta get out there
@@Zqud Watched a guy on Shark Tank episode, u can look up video here on UA-cam. He even has located a sunken ship. Still no one wld give him money. The hosts speak about all the money and risks doing such an endeavor. But, you're welcome too.
Awesome, so well preserved! Looks like they were dropped there yesterday..
can we get anything real on the internet anymore :(
@@waterwhipakia6933 ahhhh i miss the ol days on yt money doesnt matter just fun no tiktok no cringe. just vines
@@waterwhipakia6933 What do you mean? That this video of a historical find is a hoax?
@@iron_boy_2008 :( same friend . same.
@@einienj3281 the stone with the symbol on it under water is 1000% fake. youre telling me its in perfect condition from the 1300s n been underwater ? if you believe any of this video i doubt you can walk straight sober.
That looks so cool especially the good condition that they've managed to be in after 750 years
Incredible! What an exciting find. ❤️⚓️
Imagine the amount of things we would find if the ocean was drained for a week.
That would be brilliant. But where would we store the water!
@@rogersimmons8788 just like a magic thing idk lol
@@rogersimmons8788 In germany we have ships for this purpose in the river called Rhein.
a lot dead fish
@@davidrenton knew someone would say that
This looks like an amazing discovery. How wonderfully interesting!
that sounded so sarcastic
Wonderfully interesting? Really dude?🤦♂️
@@SuperNovaHeights_
Clearly not interesting to someone who uses the term 'dude'.
@@Wotsitorlabart come say that to my face
@@SuperNovaHeights_
Or someone who comes up with a halfwit statement like that.
Incredible find. Imagine all the other stuff still undiscovered
I love stuff like this. Recently I've been watching the show Drain the Oceans on Disney+. The show explores different shipwrecks and goes into the history of them. It's really interesting to see what can be found in the different bodies of water and learning the history behind it.
You shouldn't watch Disney+, its woke and its run by pedophiles
@G enough to pay the Disney+™ subscription
Take shows like that with a grain of salt and subscribe to Curiosity channel where they have actual accurate documentaries and shows.

The history and inventions that came out of the UK is unrivalled.
America?
what about it?
Just imagine how much stuff is under the sea or just below the surface that we still haven’t found and some in which we won’t know exist in multiple lifetimes some never
ikr thats crazy
It’s estimated to be over 60billion dollars of shipwreck gold in the oceans
That’s insane!!! I love history and I love seeing it brought to life with amazing discoveries and amazing workers like these!
People who found the ship: WE FOUND HISTORY
People who were on the ship: Welp, there goes all my worth
@James Wilder in reference to the valuables travelers at the time would take with them, sometimes to the bottom of the ocean
Huh?
@@Nope991 They didn't have bank accounts and safety deposit boxes back then. This is why treasure hunters exist, if you find a previously undisturbed ship there is a chance it will have some kind of medieval valuables.
I’m amazed by how close to land it is, and judging by how bright it is down there, it doesn’t seem like it was very deep. Incredible 😮
Water is usually very clean and clear there. Not far from there you get sea grass and seahorses
I wish i could go back in time and just observe life in that era
Take a lot of penicillin!!!
No you don’t
Same.
Same, but it would also be really fun to troll people of different eras with future tech and whatnot.
@@bigbubba7753 till u get put on a pike
Fantastic finds. Amazing archeology.
Brilliant! They say it was found in Poole Bay and show a shot of Swanage Bay which is just around the coast from Poole Bay/Harbour. Then the next shot is of Sandbanks, one of the most wealthiest piece's of land in the UK! That is part of Poole Bay though!. There's been plenty of activity around Poole Harbour over the centuries. I was on an archaeological dig on the west side of the bay and that was Iron Age.
It's shocking that it took so long to find this wreck considering all of that activity nearby.
Don't you just wish we had a time machine to see It sailing? Man the ocean holds more untold stories than anyone will ever imagine! Probably more than space!
pop some acid
I was with you until you said Space. A few shipwrecks is nothing compared to the enormity of space.
While it definitely holds plenty of untold stories, it certainly can't compare to space. It's hard for any human to actually comprehend the size of our expanding universe due to its size. Our ocean is indescribably tiny, tiny, tiny compared to space.
The observable universe spans some 28 billion light-years (93 billion light-years in diameter, as it is still expanding).
It is home to about 10-billion superclusters (like the Virgo Supercluster).
It has an estimated 350-billion large galaxies (like the Milky way).
It houses about 30-billion-trillion stars; that is 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars!
The Earth is about 3.5 million times larger than a human.
The Solar System is about 36 billion times larger than Earth (3.6 X 10^10).
The Local Group is 5 million times larger than the Solar System (1.4 X 10^17 times larger than Earth)
The Virgo Supercluster is 11 times larger than the Local Group (1.5 X 10^18 times larger than Earth
The Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex is 12 times larger than the Virgo Supercluster (1.9 X 10^21 times larger than Earth)
And Finally, the Observable Universe is 10 times larger than the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex (1.9 X 10^22 times larger than Earth)
In summary, the ocean is ridiculously small.
@@rmh3856 unless of course there is a wormhole somewhere in the ocean. Or some kind
Of portal, and that portal leads to an alternate universe. Then it might actually have more untold stories than space, given that it contains its own universe.
@@rmh3856 space isnt real
They need to bring it up and I want a detailed documentary about its design, use, contents, etc! This is awesome!
That’s so amazing. What an incredible find
1:24 The stonework is simply amazing. Transports me back in time just to look at it as if it had just been carved yesterday.
Wow an immaculate slab... 700 years old.. let that just sink in.
Pun intended?
I always used to swim around there as a child, off Brownsea.
This is awesome . It looks like it was from couple of years ago
That’s my favourite dive place & it’s Swanage dive shop is my favourite dive shop right on the pier.
So much to do in the area even if you don’t dive..
I love these type of stories!
Absolutely fascinating!
Wow,this is AWESOME ,I would love to have been a part of this .
Had a static caravan at a holiday park at top of Poole Harbour until a few years ago. Still go down there at least once a year to visit friends. Did a lot of swimming and fishing in the area
Incredible! I wonder what else they'll find down there...?
They'll find you
Osama bin Laden
It’s fake
This is genuinely really intresting! This discoveries let us travel to the past ❤️⏳
The fact that it's so old is mind blowing. 1200 ad. Holy smokes we should be more amazed by the age alone, not just the findings
Ohhhh😳 The 13th century. I remember like it was yesterday ☺️
Not “ancient”, but still an amazing find
dont comment here get out of this page
~Insert witty comment here~
7 centuries. Ok...
What ?
Ancient usually applies to anything from around 500 AD or earlier. That’s all I meant, not too surprising
If only I could demonstrate my ability to contribute so that I could experience something this unique.
It's so amazing to see Quentin Tarantino explaining some sea stuff!
😂😂
The craftsmanship is amazing
This man's full time job is looking for stuff old people accidentally dropped in the water.
What an awesome discovery, well preserved artifacts 👍 ⛴
Such a beautiful piece of history
looking forward to hearing more on this
"The wreck was so well preserved that the Captain asked the divers how long he'd been asleep"
Amazing!! We've been doing great things for centuries. The world can be so cool
It’s crazy to think that someone , somewhere, at some point was using that to make food with . It truly blows my mind away for some reason .
Do they really think they used those little pots to cook food? How many of those do you need to feed the crew?
I’d imagine bigger ones would be heavy af. So kinda makes sense to use multiple smaller ones 🤷♂️
Wow! Absolutely incredible
Sooo cool!! Love it 😍
Such impressive craftsmanship!
Don’t forget about “Diversity”, which was an old, old, wooden ship used during the civil war era.
🤣👍
13th century . Gosh.. awesome discovery.
insane find
Imagine a boat going down today and they find it in 2792.
Keep digging I gotta see the rest of it 🥰
What a incredible find wow that’s super exciting dang 9th one here
It baffles me things like this have to be publically funded, you'd think the government would be more than willing to excavate it
Incredible
Love that tumbleweed rolling by at the end
Cant wait to find out more.
Fascinating!
I love such videos ! So exciting…
This is amazing!
Am I the only one that realized this channel uploads almost every hour
Great, more stuff to cram into the British museum.
How cool is that!!!!!
I've just come back from a sea fishing trip in the harbour of where this was found
Amazing I hope they take it up to look at it
Good job guys
Thats really cool!
What a cool find!🤯
Wow, I never heard about this. Its amazing
Amazing find 👏🏻👏🏻
There must be *so many* wrecks off the coast of England. Ships from the Armada. Ships from WWI and II.
Absolutely dozens of them.
I’ve seen a Spanish cannon at Dunwich…I didn’t think the armada got that far…
This video needed to be longer!
That’s really cool. What a find
Amazing
I’m so fascinated by all the mysteries in the ocean..
The holy grail is on that shipwreck somewhere, it's the only explanation why everything is so well preserved.
Someone tell the Germans
@@mushbrain1753 I'll just get my whip.
I imagine the ship sinking in the harbor and the 1300s dock workers going “eh, we’ll deal with it tomorrow”
Genuine question. How did nobody find this until now?
Because it is at the bottom of a vast ocean in which humans aren’t supposed to be.
Super cool discovery. I hope the crew made it to shore.
Awesome it's always great to find some piece of History🤔
The worst thing you can do for a shipwreck is tell people where to find it. Hope they got all the answers they wanted, won’t be long before humans come to pillage and ruin it
If it’s from the 13th-14th century it’s old sure but NOT ancient
Wtf is ur definition of ancient?
@@alaefarmestatesllc You're a proper dick you. Grow up and get attention else where and wind you're fingers in you keyboard warrior. Edit. Stop trolling everyone
Yes this maybe but it's in pristine condition and we think it maybe our own ship from King H 8th. Very interesting for some Joana.
I’d be scared to touch anything so ancient under the sea.. who knows how many lives were lost
so?
@@MrFriendlyCsgoContent one could argue that people should just leave shipwrecks like this alone as most of the time a shipwreck becomes a final resting place for those aboard. I personally think it's ok to bring up a few pieces for historical purposes but they should for the most part just let those people's likely final resting place be.
@@jayrizzle9226 I suppose its a matter of relative cultural practice for the value upon things of that matter
@@jayrizzle9226 What you just said is stupid
That is stupid
Lmao at his Screwfix/B&Q diving gloves
what is the name of the castle they showed as reference? where is it located
It looks like brough castle but I’m not too sure
@@uzaidgurjee4798
No Brough Castle has a square keep.
They rocked the boat too much
so cool! love the history
Wow. Not an everyday discovery. It all needs bringing up ASAP.
Close to the town where i live
I hope they’re able to preserve it.
"all sorts of bits of fish and meat in there" - a science guy
Were you expecting him to give you the recipe?
Archaeologist not scientist.
@@heybabycometobutthead archaeology is a science...
@@scruffmcgruff21 speculative much....? burn.
@@MrTributes No it is not, you can use science to jelp with archeology, but archeology is not a science.
This is the kind of stuff that if they have a gofund me or something I'd pitch in. Those slabs need out of the water, they're in amazing condition and should be preserved!
And this is why nothing much older than this is ever really found.
Took perfect conditions to preserve a ship from only 750 years ago. Imagine what has been lost that is thousands of years old or maybe even tens of thousands, If humans had a great civilization before the ice age there would be no evidence of it left.
Why don't we use the same method of clearing water away like we use when we pour the concrete beams in water for bridges? I know the use a bunch of barriers and I assume a similar setup would work
Found so close to the harbor after centuries , imagine what we could find even farther
It’s fake like flat earth
We could probably find THE TOMB and endanger the physical and spiritual health if mankind.
"these dishes look immaculate"
is all I can think of when I see the word immaculate anywhere
That really seems like a certain bizarre adventure...
