HMS. Colossus, wrecked 1798, Isles of Scilly A lead container or possibly a ‘counter-weight’ (?). Square with two lugs, measuring 15.5cm tall and 7.5cm square, 6kg Another mystery item – this one is much taller and heavier than lots 14 and 15, measuring 15.5cm tall and 7.5cm square, but its two lugs have never been drilled with a hole, suggesting it had never been used? This one was found on the wreck of HMS. Colossus, lost off Samson, Isles of Scilly, 12.1798. This warship was homeward bound from the Mediterranean, having been away from Portsmouth for 18 months, which supports the suggestion this item was dockyard supplied.
