During the last week or so we have been diving the remains of a galleon from the second armada.
After the failure of the first armada to invade England there were two more attempts to restore pride.
Unfortunately for some, most of the ships never left Spanish waters, beaten back by savage winds many ended up on the Galician coast.
The wreckage lies in shallow waters and we were very surprised to see so many lead ingots with their essay marks still clearly visible.
I have only managed to upload one pics, but there are some more on my web site, not that I'm plugging it.:D
