After 20 years of studying a wreck off the south coast, divers think they might have found HMS Hazardous, the highly prized French navy warship Le Hazardeux captured and renamed by the English in 1703 and lost in a storm three years later. The Wreck Detectives have gone to help find out whether it is the Hazardous prize and what technological secrets she held.
