Deep as hell, in cold, murky water:

A team of UK divers has hailed the discovery of a wreck off Scotland believed to be a Royal Navy warship sunk during the first world war but still “virtually intact”.

The team found what it thinks is HMS Hawke – which sank after being hit by a German torpedo in October 1914 – in the North Sea earlier this week.

Simon Kay one of the divers taking about how they found the wreck. You might need a VPN to listen to this from outside the UK.
Kevin Heath from Orkney did the research and is thoroughly helpful guy.
