Reply to comment by msixtwofive in Reassembling a 15th century ship: "The world's largest 3-D puzzle" by ArtOak

Came to the comments to see this. It makes no sense to refer to the oldest British shipwreck found to date "as years before Columbus." It's just an America thing. CBS knows that is as far back as their viewer base can think. Why would 15th century British shipbuilders, sailors, and merchants care about an Italian explorer who hasn't yet found the thing "no one" knew existed?

How many 15th century British shipbuilders, sailors, and merchants do you think are watching this? My guess is zero.

How many 21st century people who grow up hearing the adage 'In fourteen hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue'? My guess is very many.
