"Discovery: 18th-Century British Warship Found Off Florida Coast"

Archaeologists have definitively identified the remains of an 18th-century British warship, HMS Tyger, in the waters of Dry Tortugas National Park, providing additional protection under the Sunken Military Craft Act of 2004. The vessel, which ran aground in 1742, has been positively identified through new research and historical references, with the discovery of five cannons further supporting the findings. The crew's perseverance and survival story after the wreck, including building fortifications and constructing vessels from the wreckage, adds to the historical significance of the site, now under the sovereign ownership of the British Government.
