The angle of the #10 photo shows beach houses not far away. Looks like it was buried in somebody's front yard (beach). Like they say, search your own yard first and don't ignore those large targets.

I went and looked at this ship the other day. It was quite extraordinary. What struck me the wrong way was all of the tourists beating and breaking off pieces of wood and iron to take home with them. But then again, nothing will ever be done with this artifact. The major concern at this time is a hurricane pushing the ship into the beach houses that are about 20 feet away.
