Divers discover bullets on Lusitania

DIVERS exploring the wreck of the Lusitania have recovered thousands of what appear to be Remington .303 bullets of the kind used by troops in the first world war.

Members of Blackwater subaqua club were among a four-strong dive team that descended on the wreck off the Old Head of Kinsale in recent weeks and recovered the bullets.

Divers described the recovery as being one of “the most significant historical finds of this century”.
