Winter storms reveal possible 17th-century shipwreck tied to armed Caribbean voyages

The remains of a 17th-century ship recently resurfaced after winter storms ripped open a beach in the United Kingdom.

The vessel was found at Studland Beach in Dorset, along the southwestern coast of England. Bournemouth University announced the discovery in a Feb. 9 press release. 

The ship is believed to be a vessel called "The Fame," a merchant ship from Hoorn, the Netherlands, that sank in 1631 after running aground.
