Abstract:
The Royal Anne Galley was a galley frigate was wrecked off the Lizard in 1721 while on voyage to the Barbados. There were only three survivors out of 200 passengers and crew. The most notable of those who perished was Lord Belhaven who was going to take up the Governorship of Barbados. The site of the wreck was discovered by a local diver in 1991. Since then over 400 artefacts, including iron cannon, cannon balls and coins, have been recovered from the site as well as pieces of cutlery bearing Lord Belhaven's crest and motto. In 1993 the wreck was designated under the 1973 Protection of Historic Shipwrecks Act. The assessment will include the nearby 'Quadrant' non-designated wreck site which may in fact be the stern of the Royal Anne. This project is the first Marine Environmental Assessment (MEA) of a protected wreck to be commissioned, the objectives are to: assess the broad archaeological and environmental context of the site and collate available sources and information including existing fieldwork results and archival material; discuss and evaluate potential marine environmental methods; establish the material type and extent of the site, assess the archaeological potential of the site and establish a strategy for further assessment. The project is now in its early stages and will result in a report to English Heritage in March 2006. Depending on the results, it could be followed by underwater survey (Phase 2) and monitoring over a 5 year period (Phase 3).
