Underwater footage of 18th century ship's bell

This underwater footage was taken in December 2010 on the Storm Wreck, a shipwreck site off St. Augustine believed to date to the late 18th or early 19th century. Visible is a large, bronze ship's bell, several iron cannon, two copper cauldrons, and a scatter of bricks and corroded iron artifacts. This shipwreck is being excavated by underwater archaeologists from LAMP, the Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program, in St. Augustine, Florida.
