Must’ve been pretty good rat-catchers to get their names listed somewhere.

Great story; great find. Amazing - and no doubt, particularly meaningful for next generation per families involved.

Would love to see final 'story efforts' per videos/production.

According to the map, it LOOKS like the wreck was found in central Florida, he he.

All 17 people aboard and the ship's two cats, Dewey and Watson, were lost.

At least the two cats are remembered. Too bad the 17 human beings remain anonymous.

It was turning abeam to the storm that sank this ship. They should have left the schooner to fend for herself.

It's amazing the condition such an old ship is in. Beautiful pics at the site.
