What To Know Of A Rare Elizabethan Era Ship's Discovery (& Its Role In Early America)

Shorelines are constantly moving. Visitors to the Gates of Thermopylae are surprised to find the narrow passageway the 300 Spartans held is gone, with the sea having silted up, while the Gulf of Finland will close in the future as the land continues its post-glacial rebound. In southeast England, a flooded quarry has been found to be hiding the wooden hull of a ship from England's Elizabethan era some distance from the sea.
The Elizabethan-era ship was found hundreds of yards from where the coast is today. The ship is a remarkable find and one that even is of interest to the United States. The ship reveals some of the evolution of English shipbuilding that lead them to be able to colonize North America and found the colonies that would go on to form the United States.
