Video - Duke of Wellington warship
Sorry, you must enable Javascript to display media contentWhen the tide’s out, the Thames foreshore is easily the longest open air archaeological site in London.
A year ago, archaeologists discovered the remains of a ship on the Charlton riverbed near the Thames barrier.
But it’s only now, after months of research, that they’ve appreciated the true significance of their find –the remnants of one of the greatest British warships of all time, the HMS Duke of Wellington.
At the time of her launch in 1852, she was the largest and most powerful ship in the world, and went on to play a vital role in the Crimean War.
Tessa Dunlop went to find out more about the fate of this extraordinary vessel. -
