Lord Nelson's HMS Victory found?

I just read an article in Yahoo News that the HMS Victory (Lord Nelson's flagship) had been found sunk in the English Channel. Now what confuses me is that on the HMS Victory website (www.hms-victory.com) it states that HMS Victory was "put into her present dock on 12 January 1922 and work began to restore her to her 1805 appearance." She is now a floating museum run by the National Museum - Royal Navy. Does anyone have any insight on this?

    The ship found was not Nelson's. It was the first HMS Victory which sunk many years before the second was built.
