Beneath the water in the Thames Estuary, lies a treasure trove of a shipwreck. The London sunk in the 1600's on her way to London to collect her captain. Since then, she's been buried under the river bed. That is until recently, as larger and larger container ships pass overhead, the remains of The London are being washed away at an alarming rate.
Steve Ellis, trustee of the London Shipwreck Trust, is the only person to hold a diving license for this wreck. Owen spoke to him alongside the cockle sheds in Leigh-on-Sea to find out more.
More information about The London Shipwreck can be found on their website.
