The Leverhulme Trust: “The Leverhulme funding is for historical research on the wreck and does not involve archaeology or conservation. The project is to research the ship’s history in the seventeenth century.” “We would also note that the Gloucester wreck was declared to the Receiver of Wreck, Historic England, and the Ministry of Defence.” The University of East Anglia: “As a centre of world-leading historical research – including in maritime history and culture – the University of East Anglia (UEA) is proud to be the academic partner for this project, which is already shedding new light on a monumental shift in the political history of our nation.” The spokesperson added, “The Gloucester wreck was declared to the Receiver of Wreck, Historic England, and the Ministry of Defence.” University of East Anglia did not comment on the suggestion that the original framing of the finding of HMS Gloucester as a simple quest by two brothers was misleading. However, the University did confirm that the Leverhulme funded research project does not involve archaeology or conservation. The University told thePipeLine, “The work undertaken is purely historical – exploring the history of the ship in the 17th century, from inception to loss.” That the finding of the ship and artefacts from the ship, were declared to the agencies cited by the University of East Anglia and the Leverhulme Trust is not in question. What remains in question is the timetable of those declarations and how they relate to Maritime Law and UK Government policy regarding Underwater Cultural Heritage. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3VfqYHU_tE
