Description

Objects from the wreck of HMS London photographed at Southend Museum. Photographer's note: 'The London was built at Chatham Dockyard in 1654-1656 during a time of great political upheaval after the English Civil War (1642-1648) and the First Anglo-Dutch War (1652-1654). The London played a significant role in British history. The ship formed part of a convoy sent in 1660 to collect Charles II from the Netherlands and restore him to the throne. The London sank in March 1665, following a gun powder explosion.'
