An unused pair of snorkel hoses might have doomed the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, researchers said, after finding the vital equipment stowed in the ship. Without the connection, the crew couldn’t have lasted more than two hours submerged, until they just ran out of air. The two, 4½-foot-long snorkel tubes were discovered on the submarine hull during the ongoing restoration work. A smaller hose connecting them to a bellows, or air pump, had been disconnected but tucked under the crew bench.

Hunley submarine crew may have run out of air, SC researchers say
An unused air pumping system of snorkels might have kept the Confederate sub Hunley crew alive after their historic sinking of a Union ship in the Civil War.Dr. E. Lee Spence should have never given up rights to his discovery and turn it over to the State. That’s my opinion,because others seem to lay claim to it as there’s.
Found by E Lee Spence..
I was at the Funeral of the Hunley crew in SC...was amazing to see a 3 mile long reenactor procession

The 110-foot-long ship and its cargo, discovered off the coast of the Greek island of Kefalonia, could reveal new information about the shipping routes taken by Roman traders across the Mediterranean. Its cargo is estimated at about 6,000 amphorae, a distinctive type of Roman pot with two handles and a narrow neck.

December 10, 1718: Stede Bonnet, Blackbeard's accomplice, is hanged at White Point Garden in Charleston, S.C. Decades later, Blackbeard's last haunt gets cursed. Bath, N.C. was frequented by pirates — including the infamous Blackbeard, who had called the area home a mere 40 years before Whitefield’s journey south. The pirate became a prominent figure and settled briefly in the town. This notorious association contributed to the reputation of Bath as a “swashbuckling” town.

The annals of the 18th century are full of tales of Blackbeard leaping into merchant ship, shouting, all afire, after kindling cannon fuses tied to his hair and flowing beard. What ghostly spectacle it could be! For those who wish to know what the devil stuffed himself up with before taking such daredevilry stunts; it was Rum laced with gunpowder.

In addition to Le Prince, researchers will also be looking for the British HMS Colibri that sank during the War of 1812 and the Marcia, part of the Union fleet used to block southern ports during the Civil War. Finding Le Prince could help local historians better tell the story of Santa Elena, the Spanish settlement first occupied in 1566 that was central in the Spanish and French struggle for control of the New World. The Spanish were later driven away from the outpost by Native Americans, but they returned after Le Prince wrecked to erect another fort and eventually captured and executed most of the French survivors.

Three centuries ago, the infamous pirate Blackbeard sunk one of his ships right off the coast of North Carolina. The Queen Anne's Revenge is still there, just a few feet under the water. Today, that ship and the underwater footage a filmmaker took of it have become central in a Supreme Court fight between two powerful forces in American law: states' rights and property rights. The case is one of many in the past few decades where the Court has tried to determine when Congress can take away states' sovereign immunity in order to protect citizens' property rights.

Adding to a spate of discovered treasures from Greece’s past over the last few years, marine archaeologists said they found five shipwrecks in the waters off the Greek Dodecanse island of Kasos in the southernmost part of the Aegean, dating from several historical periods. Researchers have also found evidence for what could potentially be an ancient port facility, the Greek Ministry of Culture and Sports said.

If North Carolina’s view should prevail, states will be able to infringe copyrights without fearing much of a penalty. If, on the other hand, the filmmaker’s argument should win, states would be on notice about the need to secure permission in order to avoid not only an injunction but also damages or, at minimum, to proceed with caution — like everyone else. No more freebooting.

Now, species of tropical and subtropical fish are showing up, driven there by the impacts of climate change. Scientists have been finding tropical fish off the coast of North Carolina that are typically found on the coral reefs of Southern Florida and the Caribbean.

On the 301st anniversary of Blackbeard's death at Ocracoke, N.C. another battle rages!
In January 2011, Rick Allen lost his left arm below the elbow and suffered second- and third-degree burns after a scuba tank exploded and caught fire in his garage. He spent three months in the hospital, two of them in a medically induced coma. But 10 months after the accident, Allen — the owner of Fayetteville-based Nautilus Productions — was back in the water, diving on the pirate Blackbeard’s ship. On Tuesday, Allen was at the U.S. Supreme Court as his lawyers argued that Allen and Nautilus Productions should be able to sue the state of North Carolina for copyright infringement.

Monastery's workers found a sunken ship at the bottom of the Volga. The task of Samara Polytech scientists is to find out what kind of vessel it is. According to preliminary data, the finding is over 600 years old. The size of the sunken boat is about 50 meters in length and 20 meters in width. Most of the sunken ship is in the sand, but the ultrasound images clearly show aft end and preserved frame timbers, and a large chain and old ropes.

SIIA noted that due to sovereign immunity, states compete in the intellectual property marketplace under two different sets of rules: “they may take full advantage of their own intellectual property rights, earning millions in revenue from those protections, while refusing any consequences when they deprive other authors and innovators of their constitutionally protected rights.”

The researchers are cautiously optimistic that the smaller ship found is the Äpplet. Launched in 1629, the vessel participated in Sweden’s invasion of Germany during the Thirty Years’ War but was largely sidelined in the aftermath of the 1630 skirmish. Records state that the Äpplet was sunk in the strait off Vaxholm in 1659. The team suspects the second wreck may be the Kronan (Crown), a ship launched in 1632, or the Scepter, a ship launched in 1634. According to the Vrak Museum, these vessels—also built around the same time as the Vasa—saw action during the 1640s and ‘50s but were sunk near Vaxholm in the 1670s.

In the 1990s, after Blackbeard's flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge, was discovered underwater near Beaufort, NC, Nautilus Productions was brought in to document the recovery efforts. Rick Allen, who heads the production company, registered his videos and photographs with the U.S. Copyright Office. But, the state of North Carolina published some of the materials without permission. The state eventually settled, agreeing in 2013 to pay the company $15,000. But then, North Carolina posted more materials again and state lawmakers enacted "Blackbeard's Law," designating photographs and videos of shipwrecks as public records. Nautilus Productions sued in federal court. The case worked its way through lower courts before landing at the nation's highest bench.
