WW1 Royal Navy warship sunk by mine found off Scottish coast after 105 years on seabed

A Royal Navy warship has been found by divers on the Scottish seabed – almost 105 years to the day it sank.

According to the Royal Navy, the destroyer, the HMS Jason, struck a mine and sank off the island of Coll in the Inner Hebrides in April 1917.

It lay there undiscovered until five years ago when a research team led by historians Wendy Sadler and Kevin Heath from Lost in Waters Deep, began surveying the area.
