+In 1900, the British Royal Navy purchased the HMS Tiger, a torpedo boat destroyer. But the ship never saw a single battle; eight years later, it sank after an unfortunate collision with an armed cruiser literally split the vessel in half. And the ship remained underwater, lost—until now.
+In a statement, the Royal Navy reported that, 118 years since the accident, historian-divers with ProjectXplore discovered the remains of HMS Tiger. The project, an international initiative to locate, recover, and study known shipwrecks, found Tiger roughly 203 feet (62 meters) underwater off the Isle of Wight in the southernmost coasts of the U.K. According to the project’s report on the discovery, much of both sections of the lost ship remain intact. The investigation also revealed new details about the ship’s final moments, such as its bearings moments before the tragic collision.
+“Prior to this expedition, Tiger remained the last missing 30-knot torpedo boat destroyer sunk in the English Channel,” according to ProjectXplore’s report. “Throughout [its] eight years of service, Tiger endured repeated collisions and mechanical failures, yet each time [it] returned to service… a tiger that refused to be tamed.”

+===== Roman =====
+== Free Divers Thought They Found a Weird Rock. It Was a 2,100-Year-Old Roman Shipwreck ==
+“This is one of the most important underwater archaeological discoveries of recent years.”

+Sometime between the second and first centuries BCE, a Roman ship carrying hundreds of wine-holding vases sank to the bottom of the sea near the coast of modern-day Sicily. And that’s where it lay for the next two thousand years—until two divers ran into the shipwreck by accident.
+In a statement (translated via Google) last Saturday, the Italian Ministry of Culture reported the discovery of a Roman-era shipwreck roughly 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) off the coast of Mazara del Vallo in Sicily, Italy. Divers Giacomo De Mola and Bisulli Igor encountered the ship at a depth of 151 feet (46 meters). Further investigations by government authorities found that the ship carried hundreds of amphorae, two-handled pots archaeologists believe were used to carry different liquids and grains.
