Fascinating thread. When I saw this story in the press I thought( knowing you interest in Civil War and wrecks etc) Ibet there'll be discussion on the Mudcat. Now if Aine (damn, fada-less)makes it a subject for a song challenge it might qualify as a musical thread.
I've read a lot of Clive Cussler, usually while on holiday, and I'd heard of his interest.. Thanks, guys, for all the information.
