In accordance with section 1(1) of that Act the Secretary of State is satisfied that the site identified in article 2 of this Order, is, or may prove to be, the site of a vessel lying wrecked on or in the sea bed and that, on account of the historical and archaeological importance of the vessel, or of any objects contained or formerly contained in it which may be lying on the sea bed in or near the wreck, the site ought to be protected from unauthorised interference.

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates as a restricted area for the purposes of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 an area near Rye, Sussex around the site of the wreck of the vessel called the Anne.
An area around what was thought to be the site of the Anne was previously designated as a restricted area under the Protection of Wrecks (Designation No.1) Order 1992. This Order corrects the position of the site, extends the radius of the restricted area from 75 to 100 metres and revokes the 1992 Order.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this Order.
