Special shipwreck found off British coast: find was kept secret for 15 years

Divers have found the wreck of a seventeenth-century warship off the coast of Great Yarmouth, Britain, which ran into a sandbank with the later King James II on board and sank. The special find was already made in 2007, but was only announced Friday by the University of East Anglia. The wreck of the Gloucester is in international waters and had to be secured first. It also took several years before it could be identified.
