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.
