Historic mine equipment protected

The Isles of Scilly have been the site of many shipwrecks over the years and there are more than 500 registered wrecks around the islands.
One of these sites has now been been granted protection under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973.
The remains of a cargo of 19th Century Cornish mining equipment was discovered by divers off Little Ganinick in 2005.
The Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell's decision to grant protection follows a recommendation from English Heritage.
