In March 2015, the world held its breath as a debris field was found by crew members of Fugro Equator, a team that was dedicated to finding the missing aircraft.

Sadly, after a thorough search, it was revealed that the mass of debris was actually from a number of scattered shipwrecks discovered in the area.

Thankfully, something useful did come of the discovery. The debris featured an anchor, some metal fasteners and some shady objects such as glass bottles, daggers, and a bell. It was the anchor that turned out to be the most valuable item as it helped identify the time that a nearby ship was made, hence figuring out where it came from.
