Mid-1800s Shipwreck Discovered Thousands of Feet Deep
July 3, 2018 – Have you ever seen a ghost ship? NOAA researchers came upon this shipwreck 150 miles off North Carolina’s coast, thousands of feet deep. They took a close look with the remotely operated vehicle Deep Discoverer and found items that paint a picture of the mid-1800s submerged ship and the persons on board: a ship’s navigational octant, jugs, bottles of wine, ceramics, a pile of bricks, amongst more. The ship was found along the lines of the Gulf Stream, a oceanic route used for centuries.
