Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology Ltd. (WA) was commissioned by the Port of London Authority (PLA) to embed an archaeological diver within the PLA dive team to carry out a series of dives on the wreck site known as the ‘King’ to assess the condition and stability of the site, after a reported recovery of cannon from the site. The archaeological investigation took place on the 30th October 2007. The diving operation comprised a total of 1 hour 47 minutes on the wreck site in zero visibility. One of the objectives of the investigation was to establish the presence or absence of cannon on the site. A series of artefacts were recovered and the divers noted that there was an abundance of loose material on the river bed in a remarkably well preserved state. This has the implication that they were recently disturbed. No cannons were identified during the investigation. However, visibility was very poor and no acoustic tracking system was utilised and therefore the extents of the diver’s search area is uncertain.
