Archaeologists in the Caribbean believe they've found the wreck of Christopher Columbus' flagship.

The Santa Maria was lost off the north coast of Haiti over 500 years ago as the Portuguese expedition to find a new passage to Asia inadvertently discovered the Americas.

So far, researchers have been measuring and photographing the site.

If the wreckage is confirmed, it could be one of the most important discoveries in years.
