Girona , a ship of the Spanish Armada, provided the richest treasure in the history of Irish archaeology. In 1588, the Girona sank in a bay near the Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. In 1967, the Belgian diver and deep-sea explorer Robert Stenuit located its wreck. During the next two years, divers recovered several thousand items from the seabed, including cannons and cannonballs, silver plate, jewelry, and navigation instruments. The objects recovered from the Girona are on display at the Ulster Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
