Always amazing to see shipwrecks and marine archaeological work.

Not surprising.  Most harbors are full of sunken vessels.  A large part of San Francisco is built on top of the abandoned sailing vessels left behind during the Gold Rush.

The city filled them full of stones and dirt to sink them and then filled in over the top of them.  Every so often a work crew uncovers one of them.  Thanks to being buried under the surface, they are remarkably well preserved.

Quite true but ships wrecks helped make Frisco...what has happened since is not their fault.

Perhaps tis because I am a horse trooper; a man of the wild and unforgiving mountain slopes, high plains and canyon country.

Very much like that sea I have a healthy respect for.

23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

Psalm 107 23-24.




Took and takes a special type.


Consequently any marine archaeo, as much as that on the dry land, remains interesting for me.

On one Baltic wreck, divers discovered bottles of beer that were still good enough to drink after two centuries underwater

"3They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. "

The History channel has a good series on the Vikings, entitled just that, running on Sunday evenings. I'm pretty sure that most of the above did not apply to them, or to today's Somali equivalents. But they definitely went down to the sea in ships...
