Pyke Gun (93A01)
'In 1993, a diver was exploring the area just off the Breakwater when a bright green glow told him that he was looking at a tube of brass. He thought at first that he had found a naval shellcase. Its weight told him that it was more than that. In fact, he had discovered a two-foot long brass gun made, according to the inscription on it by a well-known gunfounder "Thomas Pyke of Bridgwater" and dated 1787. It was on its own, lying in the open on the seabed and not apparently associated with any wreckage."
