Our spies tell us that the Duke of Argyll is still attempting to locate and salvage the The Tobermory Treasure Galleon

I dug up some interesting sources from The Times newspaper on this long running seach, read about them here: Duke of Argyll's search for the Tobermory Treasure Galleon

Contains information about the material recovered so far, including some details of a cannon recovered by one of the Duke's ancestors in 1740; "a French field piece carrying the device of Benvenuto Cellini."
