Abstract:		 The archaeological investigation took place on the 30th October 2007. The diving operation comprised a total of 1 hour 42 minutes on the wreck site in zero visibility, it involved a Wessex Archaeology diver working with the Port of London Authority dive team. The objectives of the investigation were to establish the presence or absence of cannon on the site, identify exposed archaeological features and to assess the risk of destruction Wessex Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned by the Port of London Authority to carry out a series of dives on the wreck site known as the ‘King’ in order to assess the condition and stability of the site, after the reported salvage of cannons from the site. or salvage of exposed archaeological features. A series of artefacts were identified and recovered to the surface, and the diver noted that there was an abundance of loose material on the river bed in a remarkably well preserved state. This suggests that the site has been recently disturbed. No cannons were seen during the investigation. However, visibility was very poor and the absence of any form of acoustic tracking means that the extents of the diver’s search area is uncertain, and it is likely the entire site was not inspected.
