Divers are racing against time to preserve the wreck of a Dutch treasure ship which sank off the British coast.
The Dutch merchant ship De Rooswijk carrying chests of silver ingots, silver dollars and pieces of eight hit treacherous sandbanks in January 1740.
The ship, on its way to buy nutmeg and pepper in the East Indies sank, killing all on board - some 250 men, women and children.
