The wreck of a Royal Navy warship has been discovered by a team of divers in the English Channel after more than a century.
The long-lost remains of HMS Tiger, which had evaded divers since her disappearance 118 years ago, were discovered off the Isle of Wight.
In 1908 the warship was cut clean in two after straying into the path of another warship during a training exercise, with fewer than half of her 57-strong crew surviving, the Royal Navy said.
The ProjectXplore team spent five years in the archives piecing together all the relevant data to help pinpoint the wreck's location.
The team also found the wreck of cruiser HMS Nottingham in the North Sea last year.
The Royal Navy and shipwreck hunters have been searching for HMS Tiger since the day the torpedo boat destroyer sank on exercises with the Fleet in 1908.
The tragedy made front page news, King Edward VII sent a telegram of sympathy, and commemorative postcards were produced remembering the crew.
Leo Fielding and Dan McMullen, co-organisers of ProjectXplore, said in a statement: "It has been the privilege of a lifetime to research, discover and document the wreck of HMS Tiger.
"We sincerely hope that our work will ensure that HMS Tiger, her story and the memory of those connected with her endure for future generations."
The ship will be protected under new legislation to better preserve military wrecks, which is currently being considered by Parliament.
While dozens of military shipwrecks have been safeguarded against illegal activity since the mid-1980s under the Protection of Military Remains Act, only vessels lost within the last 200 years can currently be protected.
Under the Armed Forces Bill, potentially thousands of shipwrecks, such as HMS Tiger, will be safeguarded from the moment they are found by a "protected place" designation, the Royal Navy said.
This will make it an offence to disturb or remove items from military wreck sites without permission, while permitting divers to visit freely, as long as they apply the principle of "look but don't touch".
