Filey - A team of British divers believes it has found the wreck of a ship captained by the Scottish-born American naval officer, John Paul Jones, that sank off the eastern coast of England in 1779. The whereabouts of the wreck of the Bon-homme Richard, then the first flagship of the American navy, has been shrouded in mystery for two centuries, despite several previous searches. But now a team of divers from the Yorkshire port of Filey believe they have found it in an area harbouring dozens of wrecks, including German U-boats.
