Misleading title. It was built in 1907 but was scuttled in 1946 by the US Army Corps of Engineers. They never recorded the exact location thus the long search.
That's awesome!
To think we had submarines at the beginning of 1900 makes you question what we have now.
"It sank". Mission accomplished.
"Sank more than 75 years ago"
116 years ago. Why choose 75 instead of 100?
pointless adventure.
A guy I'm friends with began studying sunken ships laden with gold in high school, in college he studied to become an engineer, he began inventing things, like underwater robots, then he was hired by a scientific "think tank", where he was able to develop remote autonomous submarines, and eventually located a sunken vessel off the shores of the Carolinas. He raised funds and eventually sent his under water robots to retrieve the gold. He became famous for his discovery and many books were written about his discoveries, he established a foundation, and toured his discoveries and the gold and many historical artifacts, in scientific museums all across America.
What an awesome find.Hope to find out more about it
Interesting find, very historical object.
Im from CT! I hadnt heard of this before. Super cool story, thanks for sharing
That's wild, my grandmother was 3 when this wreck occurred.
Good job guys! Thank for the historical find.
The Lloyd Bridges Sea Hunt quote made me laugh.
“We’re here to rescue you now!”
