Have you ever seen a hummingbird hovering over a fully bloomed flower on a beautiful summer day? There’s a chance that hummingbird was not a bird at all. It might actually have been an insect, a hawk moth to be exact.

For more than 300 years, the wreckage of La Belle remained at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Then, in 1995, Texas state archaeologists discovered one third of the ship at Matagorda Bay, about 120 miles south of Galveston, marking one of the most important archaeological finds of the century. A major excavation was launched by the state of Texas

Archaeologists recovered the entire shipwreck, including the hull of the ship, as well as an array of important artifacts. These artifacts included hundreds of thousands of glass beads, tons of musket shot, bronze hawk bells, and three bronze cannons

Archaeologists also discovered a collection of ceramic pots that were sealed by cork and fabric. Inside each pot was a mass of degraded gunpowder and an iron grenade

With the sophisticated, powerful features of Vision Research’s Phantom v710 and v1610 high-speed cameras in tow, the team performed 11 grenade launching tests in two days, documenting significant information with the Phantom cameras as part of the study of La Belle.
