Soon after, an investigation concluded that the ship had11 been unstable, but the reasons behind the instability have remained a point of debate over the12 centuries. Archaeologists think it sank because the gun deck was far too heavy – the result of a13 design made by someone with no experience building such a well-armed ship.
