What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Salcombe Cannon Site as a protected wreck. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Salcombe Cannon Site refers to a 17th-century warship, the *Salcombe*, which sank in 1672 near Plymouth after striking a cannon during a storm. The vessel was lost with its cargo of military supplies and an estimated 200 crew and soldiers, making it a significant maritime and military event in early modern England.
