Default 18th century wreck found in Savannah Harbour

Quote:
Crews were dredging the river. Instead of muck, they pulled up three cannons and a mystery

(CNN)Dredging the Savannah River is like a box of chocolates, say those who head up the task.

You never know what you're gonna find.
How about three cannons that may date to the American Revolution, an anchor and a likely piece of ship's timber?
The Army Corps of Engineers halted work in the vicinity after the late February discovery east of the Georgia city's famous River Street. Then it sent out feelers to maritime experts, historians and those who have worked on wreck sites in the river, asking for their insight into the finds.

According to the Royal Navy, it may be the remains of HMS Rose which was scuttled in 1779.

It will be interesting to eventually find out if it is indeed HMS Rose

What is so great about Savannah Georgia?

The essence of the city curves through the air like wrought iron, smoke, the oak trees that dot the city squares. It's equally sweet and sinister. Savannah is said to be one of the most haunted cities in America and you can feel stories and lives swirl around you.

The replica, built in Nova Scotia, based on original plans of HMS Rose was used in Master and Commander, dubbed HMS Surprise....

Loved that movie, one of Russell Crowe's best roles.

I think that's actually the cloying stench of Paper Mill. I once spent the night in Savannah. A month later my suitcase still smelled of rotten eggs.
