: As I suspected, the wreck that was sidescanned during the Linda E search turned out to be a virgin wreck.
: I would like to get a copy of the underwater video for identification purposes. It seems to be pubic domain, as it
: was shown on the news last night. The clips that were shown on the
: news last night were quite interesting. She appears to be a small schooner, rope rigged with the build
: characteristics of a mid 1800s hooker schooner. My guess is that she's the W.G. Buckner or the Mars. Both were
: very small coastal traders that went down off Port in the 1840s and 50s. She sits in 330 ft. of water, so I won't
: be diving her. Jerry Guyer, who found her, may do some more video exploration, but I think I may be able to ID her
: based solely on the video taken last night by the Coast Guard. She looked like an absolutely beautiful wreck
: on the video, covered with deadeyes. I think I even saw a mast standing. Given her depth, I think she'll be safe from most souvenir hunters, but there's always some hotshot
: who needs to prove they've been deep. I hope the numbers stay out of circulation.
Did you ever get the images or video?
