A NOAA research vessel on a 13-day mission to test its equipment unexpectedly discovered a mid-1800s shipwreck in the Gulf of Mexico
The hull of a ship, still sheathed in copper, and the numbers"2109" on a rudder suddenly appeared in the depths of the abyss.
It was an"unexpected and exciting discovery" that sea floor explorers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration made earlier this month while conducting a routine test of their new remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, in the Gulf of Mexico, NOAA announced. The number"2109" is visible along the trailing edge of the rudder. The pattern of nails securing the copper sheathing is also visible.
