Defence and the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and a public consultation period, the remains of HMS <I>Victory </I>were transferred to the Maritime Heritage Foundation in January 2012. The Foundation, a charity established to locate
shipwrecks, investigate, recover and preserve artifacts to the highest archaeological standards and to promote knowledge and understanding of Britain&#146;s maritime heritage, has now assumed responsibility for the future management of the wreck
site. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;We are honored to work with the Maritime Heritage Foundation on the <I>Victory</I> project, an important piece of British naval
heritage. Since our discovery of HMS <I>Victory</I>, we&#146;ve continued to monitor the site and have sadly noted significant changes to the site including four ton cannon that have been dragged and damaged, as well as the illicit recovery of a
cannon by another salvor, signs that the idea of preserving the site <I>in situ </I>is clearly not practical,&#148; said Greg Stemm, Odyssey CEO. &#147;We plan a phased approach which will include an initial non-disturbance survey and expect to
begin the archaeological excavation as soon as practical.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;We hope that this site will give us a unique insight into the world of
the mid-eighteenth century Royal Navy,&#148; stated Sir Robert Balchin, the Chairman of the Maritime Heritage Foundation. &#147;We are very concerned that natural erosion, damage from fishing vessels and illegal looting may endanger the wreck and
therefore we have planned an archaeological survey that will record the site before it deteriorates further. Odyssey Marine Exploration has proved its expertise and we are looking forward to working with them to protect the maritime heritage
associated with Balchin&#146;s <I>Victory</I>.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pursuant to the executed agreement Odyssey has produced an extensive project design for
the archaeological excavation of the site, including a complete plan for recording, documentation, conservation, publication and public education. Once the project plan is approved by the Foundation, fieldwork is expected to begin in early 2012,
depending on weather conditions and equipment availability. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The agreement calls for Odyssey&#146;s project costs to be reimbursed and for
Odyssey to be paid a percentage of the recovered artifacts&#146; fair value. The preferred option is for Odyssey to be compensated in cash. However, if the Foundation determines, based on the principles adopted for its own collection management and
curation policy, that it is in its best interest to de-accession certain artifacts, the Foundation may choose to compensate Odyssey with artifacts in lieu of cash. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Maritime Heritage Foundation is a charitable trust established to locate shipwrecks, investigate, recover and preserve artifacts to the highest archaeological standards, and to promote knowledge and
understanding of Britain&#146;s maritime heritage. The Foundation has been entrusted, by the UK Ministry of Defence, the shipwreck site of HMS <I>Victory</I>, which sank off the coast of southwest England in 1744 while serving as the flagship of
Admiral Sir John Balchin. The Foundation seeks to prevent damage to this historically important site and to maximize its archaeological, scientific and educational value and envisions an archaeological excavation of the site, the conservation,
exhibition and study of the artefacts recovered, as well as the development of programs to educate a new generation about maritime history. The Chairman of the Trust is Sir Robert Balchin who is a kinsman of Admiral Sir John Balchin. The Maritime
Heritage Foundation is a Charity Registered in England no 1141244. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>About HMS Victory (lost 1744) </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">HMS <I>Victory</I>, commanded by Admiral Sir John Balchin, was considered the greatest ship in the world when she disappeared. Built with three decks and
elaborately decorated open stern galleries and armed with up to 110 guns <I>Victory</I> was the last Royal Navy warship to be lost at sea with a complete complement of bronze cannon. Her final voyage began in July 1744, when a fleet was dispatched
under the command of Sir John, one of Britain&#146;s most revered admirals, and she sank on 5&nbsp;October 1744. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Theories about the demise of
the <I>Victory</I> began to circulate almost immediately. When wreckage marked with the name <I>Victory </I>washed ashore on the coasts of Alderney, Guernsey and Jersey, it was assumed the ship went down off the Channel Islands. The prevailing
belief was that the warship had struck the Casquets, a group of rocky islets northwest of Alderney, infamously known as the &#147;graveyard of the English Channel.&#148; The tragic loss of <I>Victory </I>has long puzzled scholars and although the
remains were never located, the blame for the ship&#146;s loss was placed on poor navigation by the Captain. The Alderney lighthouse keeper was subjected to a court martial for allegedly failing to keep the lights on between 1 and 5&nbsp;October,
1744. For nearly 300 years, the wreck site has been searched for fruitlessly, until in 2008, Odyssey Marine Exploration discovered the wreckage, ending one of Britain&#146;s most perplexing naval mysteries. The discovery put to rest questions about
where the <I>Victory</I> sank, for it was found nearly 60 miles west of the Casquets and thus exonerated the officers as well as the Alderney lighthouse keeper. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
