Yeah, they might be able to display it in some museum, as long as any confederate flag insignia are removed from it.

Iirc there was a similar Civil War riverine steam warship that Clive Cussler’s group went after years ago.

They showed up at the site only a couple days after the Army Corps of Engineers had obliterated the thing by dredging straight through it.

Why do these morons feel the need to give us the metric system units?

Race and PC pimps raise confederate ship so they can sink it again.

This is what she looked like back in the day:

Due to her scuttling, previous dredging and more damage from attempts to try to remove her, it doesn't sound like there is intact hull to raise.

Hope she isn’t flying a Confederate flag. God knows what kind of uproar it would cause if she was.

Just as soon as they find any Confederate Insignia on it.

...the ship’s crew deliberately sunk it.

I suspect that they actually sank it.

Weapons recovered? Looks like someone really did have a ‘boating accident’.
