| Summary: | In 2002, the site of a shipwreck in Cardigan Bay, west Wales, thought to be the final resting place of the fully rigged ship Diamond, was designated by Cadw under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973. Subsequent investigations into the remains of the vessel on the seabed by the Malvern Archaeological Diving Unit, together with comparisons made against documented historical research relating to Diamond, led to the conclusion that the identity of the ship on this underwater site was almost certainly mistaken. This deduction is, however, not the end of the matter, as while it answered the long-standing question relating to the validity of the name Diamond being ascribed to this shipwreck, it neither threw any light upon the actual identification of the vessel on the site, or the possible location and final resting place of Diamond. This article is an attempt to answer both these two pertinent and outstanding questions. |
