Morning Folks Has anyone come across any news of the CSS Georgia lately. Read a small bit about it not long ago but cant remember if it said searchers had found it or where in the process of looking for it. It would be very interesting if it were found and artifacts could be brought to the surface.
 
As archaeologists recover artifacts, more questions rise to the surface
This same map will be used during the second phase of the recovery operation, where U.S. Marine Corps and Navy divers will remove unexploded ordnance (cannonballs) before bringing up larger objects including the cannons, engine cylinders and the casemate.

This phase was scheduled to begin June 1 but was delayed to allow divers extra time to plan the safe recovery of nearly 70 pieces of ordnance – more than they originally anticipated.
