That is amazingly well preserved for a ship sunk 161 years ago.

The masts really impressed me. Almost looks like a crane and some duct tape, and back in business. ;’)

Indeed. And no doubt incredibly amazing from the diver’s view.

***amazingly well preserved ***

Maybe it is because of all that DDT we were told had settled to the bottom of the Great Lakes. Wonder if it will be disturbed and start killing bugs again.

Cold, freshwater with almost no oxygen content at depth can preserve almost anything.
