Odyssey has been searching for the wreck of the HMS Sussex, an 80 gun 2d rate ship of the line lost in 1693. She was carrying a large treasure of silver and gold coins to the Duke of Savoy as a bribe to secure his support in England’s war against France.

The Sussex was lost near Gibralter, not England, but I suspect that this is the ship that was found. Odyssey has an agreement in place with the British government to split the treasure.

A guy that works with me used to work for these people up until about a year ago...gave it up because the $ wasn't so good and there was (and still is) a lot of Katrina/Rita clean up to do here in the Gulf of Mexico...and he confirmed that you are correct.

I’m not sure whether they’ve found it or not. There was a huge row in Spain over this as it’s apparently in Spanish waters. Spain sent out patrolboats to controll that area and patriotic Spanish fisherman threatened to ram the Odyssey.

Work on the Sussex is on hold until the Spanish government appoints marine archaeologists. Company statements lead me to conclude that this is another wreck. This company has a number of projects in the works. I don’t have time to respond to all the speculation on this site. Interested parties should consider the company’s press releases, as they are bound to a high level of integrity.
