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?
