U.S. researchers have concluded that the 17th-century remains of sunken British warship HMS Tyger rest below the surface in Dry Tortugas National Park. The site, discovered at an undisclosed location near Garden Key in 1993, was long assumed to be the resting place of the warship, and now federal archeologists have made a 'sound argument' for the conclusion after combing the ship's preserved logs anew, the National Park Service said Thursday.
National Park Service archeologists matched its preserved logbook entries to five cannons found about 500 yards from the wreckage, the National Park Service said Monday. The findings were published in the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology. Credit for the journal paper went to Andrew Van Slyke of the National Park Service’s Submerged Resources Center and Joshua Marano of its South Florida Cultural Resources Division.
