It's amazing this small vessel has been found. Ballard is quite remarkable.

Kennedy and 10 other survivors swam 15 hours to reach a nearby island. He towed one injured survivor, engineer Patrick Henry McMahon, by swimming with a strap from McMahon's lifejacket in his teeth.

How ironic that swimming someone to safety may have brought Jack the presidency, and the lack of doing the same may have cost Teddy it.
