Deep-sea explorers who struck it rich two years ago said they have made another big find - the wreck of a legendary British warship.

Odyssey Marine Exploration is still looking for the 100,000 gold coins believed to be aboard the HMS Victory when it sank in the English Channel in 1744. The Florida-based company found the shipwreck in May and has recovered cannons and other artefacts.

The ship was the largest and most heavily armed vessel of its day.
