Quote"...  and there are no other recorded shipwrecks in the area," he said.

Because 12th-century shipwreck records are so famously complete? The rock was well enough known to have a name, Quilleboeuf; do we really believe that no other ship ever hit it? I think we need a much more thorough investigation before we cam say that this actually is the White Ship.

Interesting piece, though; thanks, David.
