Still with Shipwrecks, but more like archaeology, which I'll be moving the interesting facts to.

Earlier this year, they found what they are calling one of the oldest shipwrecks found to date, over 3000 years old. It was off the coast of Devon and contained copper and tin ingots. What isn't know, is if the copper and tin was coming to Britain or if it was shipping to somewhere Europe.

The copper and tin would have been used for making bronze tools, weapons and possibly jewellery.
