Added by Chris Scott: Wreck is possibly in Normans Bay, Pevensey.  But wreck could be either HMS Resolution or a Dutch 1650’s ship. Timber not from UK but there are records of some imported timber used in Harwich. There are over 50 guns on the site I believe the site could be confirmed from the study of the cannons. As far as I know none have not been recovered or cleaned. Will try to find out. If we can prove it is the Harwich ship that would be an amazing outcome. Lying in shallow water with a “tourist underwater path”. https://www.nauticalarchaeologysociety.org/normans-bay-wreck
