Shipwrecks have fascinated me since my teens. Some would argue this was due to a huge crush on Leonardo Di Caprio rather than the mysteries of the Titanic itself, but given my passion for archaeology I like to believe Leo had only had a small part to play! So I am pretty excited that we have some pieces (pictured) from a shipwreck here in Wyle Cop in Shrewsbury…a shipwreck that has been called ‘...
