Wreck of a 18th century French corsaire found off Plymouth

[PMarione]

The wreck of a feared French corsair which terrorised English ships during the 18th century has been discovered 60 miles off the Devon coast.
With 25 guns and a plunder-thirsty crew, La Marquise de Tourny was the scourge of the British merchant fleet about 260 years ago.
For up to a decade, the French frigate menaced sailors under a form of state-sanctioned piracy designed to cripple British trade.
But the 460-ton vessel from Bordeaux suddenly vanished in the mid 18th century, and mystery has surrounded its whereabouts ever since.
