National Museum of the Royal Navy.

Easy for you to say.

I've had a lot of practice.

And now that shifting sands are putting the wreck under threat, no expense is being spared to recover as much as possible.

A combined team from Bournemouth University, the Maritime Archaeology Trust and the National Museum of the Royal Navy is carrying out this £2 million project to salvage the remains of the wreck.

And halfway through the three-year project, the clock is ticking to retrieve what evidence is left.

It's all about trying to recover as much as we can, record it as quickly as we can, because during the winter, we have high-energy storm events, and this is exposing vulnerable and fragile artifacts, as well as the ship structure.

They had to be proficient at all the old-fashioned sailing techniques of the sailing navy, whilst also working out all the new technologies that this ship embodied.

So Andrew, you're the man in charge of HMS Warrior for the National Museum of the Royal Navy.

Yeah, for my sins, yeah.

I always think that there are some very famous ships in this dockyard, but Warrior is the, is the hidden gem of the collection.
