Ørsted Hornsea 3 Survey Discovers Centuries-Old Lead Ingots in North Sea
Survey work on Ørsted’s Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm in the North Sea revealed three historic lead ingots alongside the remains of a wooden shipwreck. The ingots, dating to the late 17th or early 18th century, weigh about 70 kg each and will be housed at the Peak District Lead Mining Museum. The discovery provides a glimpse into historic trade routes and England's once-thriving lead industry.
