I'm obsessed with a historic shipwreck: it's murky and dangerous but diving in the Thames, I feel like a detective, Steven Ellis.
When exploring wrecked warship the London I can barely see six inches ahead, but I've dived 500 times to document and save the secrets of this vessel built by Oliver Cromwell.
Steven Ellis has been interviewed for October's "Why I'm obsessed with'.
He's obsessed with an historic 17th century wreck deep down in the Thames, called The London.
The London is not just any old shipwreck. ItÕs a nationally important and legally protected historic wreck, built by Oliver Cromwell, which was part of the fleet that brought King Charles II back from the Netherlands to England for his restoration in 1660.
Artefacts discovered in the wreck of the London. Steve Ellis gives any finds to Southend Central Museum.

A rare glimpse inside Britain's secret vault of whale skeletons
The Natural History Museum's legendary cetacean collection - a hoard of bones of 6,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises, so valuable that the museum keeps the location under wraps - could hold the key to the long-term future of these species.
Behind a 10-foot tall door, in a secret location, lies a treasure trove of bones. Some of the biggest bones are laid out on storage units made of scaffolding, others are stacked against each other on racks - rows and rows of specimens. The smallest are tucked into drawers of faded-yellow metal cabinets. A selection of skulls lies on a low table; crudely stuffed animals hang from the painted breezeblock walls. Everything is carefully labelled.

"It's visually stunning, yes, but also incredibly scientifically and culturally significant," says Richard Sabin, the Natural History Museum's principal curator of mammals. "You're looking at one of the best research collections of its kind in the world - what makes it unique is the species representation."

"It's visually stunning, yes, but also incredibly scientifically and culturally significant," says Richard Sabin, the Natural History Museum's principal curator of mammals. "You're looking at one of the best research collections of its kind in the world - what makes it unique is the species representation."

A rare glimpse inside Britain's secret vault of whale skeletons
The Natural History Museum's legendary cetacean collection - a hoard of bones of 6,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises, so valuable that the museum keeps the location under wraps - could hold the key to the long-term future of these species.
Behind a 10-foot tall door, in a secret location, lies a treasure trove of bones. Some of the biggest bones are laid out on storage units made of scaffolding, others are stacked against each other on racks - rows and rows of specimens. The smallest are tucked into drawers of faded-yellow metal cabinets. A selection of skulls lies on a low table; crudely stuffed animals hang from the painted breezeblock walls. Everything is carefully labelled.

REPORTAGE - London: Alltag in Holborn im West End
29th March 2017. Spotlight Holborn. Holborn is a district in the West End, central London, forming part of the London Borough of Camden. The district is home to Hatton Garden an area noted as London's jewellery quarter and centre of the UK diamond trade, but is now home to a diverse range of media and creative businesses. On Holborn Circus lies the Church of St Andrew, an ancient Guild Church that survived the Great Fire of London. However the parochial authority decided to commission Sir Christopher Wren to rebuild it. Although the nave was destroyed in the Blitz, the reconstruction was faithful to Wren's original. In the middle of the Circus there is a large equestrian statue of Prince Albert by Charles Bacon (1874), the City's official monument to him. It was presented by Charles Oppenheim, of the Diamond Trading Company De Beers, whose headquarters building is in nearby Charterhouse Street. Bruce Baucher, Director at Sir John Soane's Museum, Lincoln's Inn Fields. The historic house, museum & library is the former home of 19th Century distinguished architect Sir John Soane. It has remained untouched since his death 180 years ago. It's an alladin's cave of history with almost every wall filled with busts & artwork. The museum is currently displaying 12 new sculptures by British artist Marc Quinn in a display entitled "Drawn From Life".
