No more is currently known about the ship's fate and last position. The Discovery Channel commissioned Barry Clifford, a well-known underwater explorer, to find "Adventure Galley" as part of its "Quest" series in 1999–2000. He identified what were believed to be the wrecks of "Adventure Galley" and "Rouparelle/November", as well as Culliford's "Mocha Frigate", William Condon's "Flying Dragon" and Captain Chivers' "New Soldado". Excavations recovered timbers made from English oak and a few scanty artifacts which were identified by Clifford as coming from "Adventure Galley". In 2015, Clifford recovered a metal bar from the site, which was marked with the letters S and T and was claimed to be made of silver. The accuracy of Clifford's conclusions about the wrecks remain debated in the scientific community. A UNESCO expert team subsequently rejected Clifford's conclusions, declaring the apparent shipwreck site to be only a broken part of the port constructions and identifying the metal bar as being 95% lead and probably a piece of ballast.
