The final resting place of 11 heroes whose boat sank during the First World War has finally been discovered.
During the conflict, British fishermen were pressed into becoming minesweepers in a "bloody but forgotten chapter of the First World War”. Nearly one in five of those who took part were killed, including a team of 11 onboard the St Ives, which hit a mine in the Fal Estuary, near Falmouth, Cornwall.
