Read about it in this morning's paper. Those kids definitely are having a cool experience. With such an old town and the fact the the inlet was very shallow with shifting shoals, there are bunches of wrecks still to be found.

If the Archaeologists find that gold and jewel incrusted sword.The public will never see it in any museum.

I'm wondering about that too, will they show artifacts to the public, or
well they sit in a damp box in a building, on marine street. like many others artifacts.
Many of the true local's, been diving on that wreck since in the early 70's and 80's.
I just hope they do everything right, and let the public see everything!!!
