BWVI, EXPL Team Scores Again

Blue Water Ventures International  (BWVI) and project partner Endurance Exploration Group (EXPL), are well into the 2019 recovery season on the SB Pulaski. The SB Pulaski sank in 1838 while in route from Savannah, Georgia to Baltimore, Maryland. She carried some of the South’s wealthiest families. The shipwreck was considered the “Titanic” of its’ day. The Blue Water Rose has been based out of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina since mid June. As weather permits, on site excavations have continued with the recovery of more silver and copper coins; most from US origins, a small gold pocket watch, silver ware and wreck material. A more detailed survey of bottom conditions has shown Hurricane Florence (September 2018) had a bigger impact on the seabed than was earlier believed.
