'Billion dollar' wreck discovered
Updated on 02 February 2009
A shipwreck believed to contain more than a billion dollars of gold has been discovered at the bottom of the English Channel.
HMS Victory, the legendary British warship which was the predecessor to Lord Nelson's Victory, sank during a storm in 1744, taking more than 1,000 sailors to their deaths.
The ship's location remained a mystery despite numerous searches, until Odyssey Marine Exploration discovered the wreck in May 2008.
