U.S. SHIPWRECKS

Did you catch the news on the raising of the Civil War vessel Hunley? Well, join us as we meet the archaeologist-diver who worked at the site. Read about the surprises, joys, and disappointments - all first-hand, and quite exciting! He'll also introduce you to state-of-the-art warm-warm suits that make those cold water temperatures history. Check out, too, the remains of a ferry, with its wheel pedaled by horses! Then, go diving with another archaeologist to check why the British ship HMS Betsy sunk and learn how those aboard the "mother" ship monitor the divers scanning the wreck. We'll end with the discovery of a steamboat in Red River!
