The Northumberland was lost on the Goodwin Sands during the Great Storm of 26-27 November 1703. The wreck was discovered in 1980 and shortly after designated under the protection of Wrecks Act 1973. In 2018 Pascoe Archaeology was commissioned by Historic England to conduct an underwater archaeological assessment of the wreck. This was necessary as the results of two consecutive multi-beam echo-sounder (MBES) surveys (2017 and 2018) had demonstrated the site was uncovering. Comparisons between the two multi-beam bathymetry data sets identified that the local bedforms surrounding the site were moving in a NNE direction. This is migrating seabed sediments away from the site, placing it in a region of seabed erosion. As a result, significant archaeological features are now exposed. The fieldwork was conducted between the 18-24 August 2018, by a collaborative team led by Pascoe Archaeology. MSDS Marine acted as the diving contractor and diving operations were conducted from the Dive Support Vessel (DSV), Neptune. The dive team consisted of members of MSDS Marine, Bournemouth University and Sea Dive Organisation.
