Archaeologists say they have discovered the wreck of HMS Prince, a British naval vessel which sank near the port of Balaclava during the Crimean War. Some 144 men on board the ship were killed after it sank during a storm in November 1854 and thousands of badly needed winter uniforms were also lost. Although underwater expeditions have previously found parts of the ship, this is the first positive identification of the vessel. Read the story here.
