discovery OF SuniHen Ship OF the time
at Henry the Eighth
A most interesting discovery has, ac-
cordiuq to the Interior, been made at
The old Cinaue Port Of Sandwich. The
Stour. a river which has, perhaps, more
frequently changed its course than any
other English river, has lately entered
an old channel near its confluence with
Perwell bay, laying bare awreck which
has probably occupied its present posi-
tjon for several centuries. The vessel
;s one of foreign build, and the wood Is
in n fair state of preservation, owing TO
tbe fact that it has for many years been
entirely embedded in the sand. On IN
spection it would appear that, from
time TO time, various attempts had been
made to cut down the wreck, but tne
hull of the vessel is as yet pretty nearly
intoct. 1t is matter Of local history
that a little over three hundred years
ago. in the reign of Henry WILL al
Italian vessel, belonging to one Oh th'
nopes. sank at the entrance OF thesthen
foarishing port of Sandwich. The sane
eilted round it, forming a great bank
and blocking up the entrance to TN
baven. and it is recorded that, from thu
date, the prosperity of Sandwich as
seaport greatly declined. 1t is belleVed

ancient wreck now discovered is identlc

however, content merely to touch the
