An 18th-century British warship, identified as the lost 'HMS Tyger,' has been located off the Florida Keys in Dry Tortugas National Park. The sunken vessel, worth an estimated $17 billion, could be recovered soon, posing a significant challenge. Recovery efforts for the Spanish shipwreck, dubbed the 'holy grail of shipwrecks,' may commence in April. Divers discovered the 130ft-long warship that sank 282 years ago during the Anglo-Spanish War in coral-filled waters. The British warship that sank in Dry Tortugas in 1742 has now been identified. The vessel, built in the 1600s, is set to be recovered as soon as April, with an estimated $17 billion worth of treasure on board.
