As an advocational archaeologist, it's a real privilege to dive on such a historic wreck, comparable to the Mary Rose and the Vasa.

They are indeed back on the Thames, or should we say they are back "under" the Thames.
Diving to save artefacts from destruction is underway thanks to the generosity of the public as well as support of @DiveMasterIns and @DPWorldUK

Investigation into famous shipwreck off Southend Pier back on track after fundraiser ift.tt/0ywl3IV
At the weekend the team dropped it to @SouthendMuseums to see "The London Shipwreck -Her Final Voyage" exhibition - well done to all involved. Great to see the gun carriage on display. So much more still on the seabed that needs to be saved #LondonWreck1665

Holy cow.....we made it to 100%
Thank you to everyone involved in supporting the appeal to get the London shipwreck volunteers back on the #Thames
Without your support we would have risked zero visits to the #HeritageAtRisk #ProtectedWreck this year.
The team thanks you all !
Over the weekend we made it to 97% of our target thanks to wonderful and generous donations.
All the funds will be used to get the volunteers back on the #Thames and get the London Shipwreck Project back on the #ProtectedWreck
Can you help?

😢We were sad to learn that Joyride has been grounded.
She needs a new engine. After many many years service she needs some help to get back on the #Thames
Can you help get Joyride back up to speed?

Without the work of @StevenEllis3 and the volunteer team we would know practically nothing about the ongoing archaeological crisis in the #Thames. We owe them a debt we can never repay, but we are proud to support them. Thanks @guardian @guardiannews #SaveTheLondon @NautArchSoc
There's a little article in the Guardian about someone's slight obsession with the Historic wreck of the #Londonwreck1665. However, it couldn't have happened without all of the team's effort and the supporters of the @SaveTheLondon campaign.

Great to see @HistoricEngland marine staff taking such an active interest in #LondonWreck1665.
Hoping this means that change is coming - fingers and toes crossed for the licenced volunteer team @StevenEllis3 @NautArchSoc
Spent a day with marine planning, listing & policy colleagues @HistoricEngland kindly hosted by delightful @SouthendMuseums to talk policy & practice & see artefacts from The London which sank in 1665. Then onto the 1.1 mile pier to gaze at the site of the protected London wreck
