Mary Montagu-Scott, director of the Buckler’s Hard Maritime Museum, will tell the story of how Lord Nelson’s favourite ship, built and launched at Buckler’s Hard in 1781, ended up wrecked in 1809 on the River Plate off Uruguay.
A team of maritime archaeologists from the UK and Uruguay, seek to record and preserve the wreck before she is lost by time and tide.

Mary has dived on the wreck and seen its Beaulieu Oak timbers which survive against all the odds under the sea.
