A wreck off the Cornish coast has been given new protection from divers hoping to plunder its treasure.
Portuguese merchant vessel the St Anthony sank off Gunwalloe in 1527 in a heavy storm.
She went down with a mixed cargo including copper and silver ingots and, it is believed, a princess's dowry, some of which still survives.
The site covered by the Protection of Wrecks Act has been extended after part of the wreckage was spread by storms.
