I'm not questioning these guys' credentials as archaeologists, but the statement "-In the very first dives to the wreck, divers returned a ship's bell dated 1709. This proves the wreck can't be any older than that date. " doesn't make sense. Is there any reason to think that, if the ship lost its original bell (for whatever reason), that the new bell wouldn't have a different date?

The WRECK cannot be older that the bell, not the SHIP

I think its just confusing writing. I believe what they mean by 'wreck' is that the ship itself no matter how old could not have 'sunk' earlier than the year the bell was manufactured-1709.
To: patton
I guess I thought they were referring to the wreck (noun) as opposed to the wreck (verb). Damn nautical terms. If they meant the verb, then they should have worded it "The wreck couldn't have happened any earlier than that date".
