Did you know that Navy divers are helping the Army Corps of Engineers recover the CSS Georgia in the Savannah river?
As a person who loves ships and maritime history far beyond the norm conveyed by a career spent around them, I am ecstatic about this, and might traipse across the country to whatever museum the artifacts wind up in.
I just hope that the anti-Confederate-flag crowd don't go apeshit over this and cause their destruction.

SN Greg Wright Awesome article and very interesting. I really like to hear about salvage missions like this that bring back historical items for future generations to see in museums. Very cool!
