Thanks for posting!
The article about a wreck of an armed pinnace in the Isles of Scilly was really interesting. Very small, armed coastal/river vessels have always interested me.

One of the articles has a photo of a very old, very long bronze gun found in a pond (?) in the UK.  Found by scuba divers looking for old chains to sell as scrap metal.
