Royal treasure ship found off Scotland after 400 years

A royal ship carrying King Charles I's possessions, believed to be worth hundreds of millions today, has been located off the Scottish coast. Local historical group Burntisland Heritage says it has found convincing evidence of The Blessing of Burntisland in the Firth of Forth. The 60ft timber ferry sank in a storm in 1633, with only two of 35 people on board surviving.
