If the ship were foundering they might have done so, chucked the admiral's chest of fancy crockery overboard with it. I have also read of sending a cannon down with the anchor as a desperate measure to get more drag on the seabed against being driven ashore, given the tight grouping I wonder if that was the case here.

I wonder why the cannon hasn't been lifted. Cannon seem to be one thing that are used to id wrecks.

[@amn9481]

+Brad Black The funds required to conserve cannon because of their size is significant. When they have the proper amount of money, time (it will take many years to complete the conservation), and the proper facility to do the work, they probably will raise the cannon. Yes, cannon can be diagnostic, but conservation issues must take precedence to insure the health of the artifacts.

Historical accounts are full of lies. None more likely than those of great victories, of great heroic deeds, and other such things that would be fodder for national pride, especially at the time. Especially in the past when all the public knew was through news pamphlets and broadsheets from official accounts. Do you really think that they wouldn't have proclaimed that they won, quite unexpectedly, over the Armada due to their own merit rather than an accident of weather? And that is the version that is remembered in the UK? All types of officialdom, in every period, in every culture, has done this sort "PR", put a bit of positive spin to look good to their own people, to make more of anything they could while minimizing damages.
