A multidisciplinary team of eleven researchers has reconstructed the sinking of an Italian ship that lay barely eight metres deep under the mud of the Bay of Cadiz.
The ship is the San Giorgio e Sant'Elmo Buonaventura, one of between 30 and 35 ships that the English explorer and privateer Sir Francis Drake destroyed in the port of Cadiz on 29 April 1587, on the express orders of Queen Elizabeth I.
