Severe winter storms over the last two years are believed to have led to the recent discovery of relics from the Spanish Armada off the Irish coast.

Cannons from the merchant vessel, La Juliana, have been found in the sands off Streedagh, County Sligo.

Timbers from the exposed wreck began washing ashore in April.

The guns date back to 1588, but are said to be in excellent condition. Two have been taken off the seabed.

One bears a dedication to St Matrona, a saint particularly venerated by the people of Catalonia and Barcelona.



It does seem to be very well-preserved! I wonder how much it's all worth?

more than likely quite a bit i would imagine, hopefully they will be taken and preserved in a museum.
