The Salcombe Coast in Devon, England, has seen a number of shipwrecks over the years. In 2010, archaeologists discovered the oldest shipwreck in British history. It had a 3,000-year-old age assigned to it. The ship had valuable cargo, including 259 copper and 27 tin ingots, when it sank.

This ship was probably sailing toward a Bronze Age town when the choppy, treacherous waves overtook it. For an undisclosed sum, the British Museum acquired numerous relics from the wreck. There’s now a bronze sword, gold jewelry, and a few stone tools from the shipwreck on exhibit.
