While the chance of securing recovered treasure is exciting, it’s hard to know the estimated current value of the sunken goods — not to mention the haul’s value as a mythic piece of Scottish history.
Discussions about the establishment of a visitor center or museum in Burntisland to exhibit the ferry’s story and artifacts have been in the works.
The next step is carbon-dating of the recovered timber to see if this wreck is truly the royal ship lost 400 years ago. If not, the search will simply have to continue on.
After reading about the potential discovery of the ship carrying Charles I’s treasure that sank 400 years ago, learn about the oldest discovered shipwreck found at the bottom of the Black Sea. Then, dive into the history of the Picts, the people who called ancient Scotland home.
