The Russia was discovered July 23, just 1,200 feet from a previously discovered three masted schooner wreck called the Celtic, lost with the entire crew of eight to a storm November 29, 1902. The GPS numbers for the Celtic were shared with Farnquist by Paul Ehorn from Waukegan, Illinois prior to beginning their search for the Russia. It was during Paul’s years of searching for the Russia that he located the Celtic resting at a depth of 220 feet.

The state points to a statute nicknamed "Blackbeard's Law" that it says grants it immunity from some private copyright infringement claims. The state has used photos and videos from Nautilus Productions to promote tourism, USA Today reported.

Known to divers as “The Copper Pot,” the wreck is actually the Steamship North Carolina, which collided with another boat in 1840 with hundreds of gold coins stuffed in passenger’s steamer trunks.

HMS Victory was a 96-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built to the dimensions of the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment at Portsmouth Dockyard, and launched on 23 February 1737. She was wrecked, with the loss of her entire crew, while returning to England as the flagship of Admiral Sir John Balchen after relieving Sir Charles Hardy, who was blockaded in the Tagus estuary by the French Brest fleet. As Balchen's fleet reached the English Channel on 3 October 1744, it was scattered by a large storm. At around 15:30 on 4 October, the ships accompanying Victory lost sight of her near the Channel Islands. She was found in the English Channel near Torbay, Devon in 2008.

No, she was a 100 gun First Rate...

Let the looting begin now that the Brits backed out of their contract with Omex to salvage. I hope Omex sues them.

After North Carolina used photos and videos of Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge without permission, the licensed salvage Photographers sued for breach of copyright. But over half of Appeals Courts say a State CANNOT be sued for copyright infringement because of Sovereign Immunity. How can this be? And can Nautilus Productions win back everyone's rights?

The 288-foot-long Hudson was a sturdy steel vessel, built in 1888 “and one of the fastest ships on the lakes,” author and longtime University of Minnesota Duluth professor Julius Wolff wrote in his book “Lake Superior Shipwrecks.” The Hudson carried a load of wheat and flax as it set out from Duluth on Sept. 15, 1901. At some point, as the Hudson passed the Apostle Islands, a Lake Superior gale kicked up. And the next morning, Sept. 16, lighthouse keepers at Eagle River, Mich., saw a “sizable twin-stacked steamer dead in the water, listing badly,” Wolff wrote. “The unidentified steamer suddenly rolled over and sank.”

The tall ships on the bottom are indeed the St. Andrews and Peshtigo, two iconic Great Lakes sailing ships from the Civil War era. The Peshtigo was a giant three-masted schooner for her time at 161 feet in length and 384 tons. She was built in 1863 at Peshtigo, Wisconsin by shipwright Thomas Spears and was the largest vessel ever built there. The St. Andrews was a two-masted schooner built in 1857 at Milan, Ohio by the shipyard of Merry and Gay and was herself a large vessel for her time at 143 feet and 426 tons.

By entering into a settlement agreement and paying Allen money after the initial infringement of Allen’s copyrights, North Carolina – for all intents and purposes – conceded it did something wrong when it used and published Allen’s images without permission. Blackbeard’s Law and words in the settlement agreement cannot validate subsequent infringement of the exact same nature. Nor does North Carolina’s theme that it only infringed six times, and for a public benefit, help its case. An infringement of a copyright is an infringement of federally protected property right. And an alleged “little infringement” is nevertheless an infringement.

After its return to England, the Royal Navy sold the Endeavour, deeming it unfit for further service. It was renamed the Lord Sandwich and used in 1776 to ferry British troops to fight in the American War of Independence. The British also used it as a prison ship off Newport during the war, and in 1778 it was one of at least 13 ships scuttled by the British in Newport Harbor to prevent an invasion by French warships — France was then an ally of the American revolutionaries.

Decisions similar to the Fourth Circuit decision are taken by state actors to assume they can willfully infringe copyrights, knowing that the copyright holders – generally individuals and small businesses – have little recourse to take action. Should states be able to disregard copyright, creators would be deprived of royalty income, find it impossible to grant exclusive license to their copyrighted works, would have difficulty encouraging new licensing agreements, and in general would see their copyright devalued.

Allen notes, the House Report supporting the CRCA expressly noted that, through unchecked state copyright infringement, States are injuring the property rights of citizens. Since 1998, plaintiffs, Frederick Allen, and his production company Nautilus Productions have been the exclusive photographers of the shipwreck of Queen Anne’s Revenge, the flagship of Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard the pirate.

Lattin’s find actually represents the second set of Civil War cannonballs found at Folly Beach over the past several years. In October 2016, Hurricane Matthew unearthed a trove of 16 cannonballs at the South Carolina site; as Gilreath told Geggel at the time, authorities’ hopes of displaying the weapons were thwarted by the realization that a “large number of them were explosive cannonballs, and thus contained old and very unstable gunpowder.” Ultimately, explosive experts destroyed the majority of the artifacts.

At first, the couple who discovered the pair of cannonballs thought they'd simply stumbled upon a rockWonderful. Wonder how many more are out there waiting to explode.
Amazing find. Great story.
Digest the part of the story about the guy that blew himself up playing with old ordnance. If i dug up anything close to this I would be calling the bomb squad, not polishing it in my basement!
second set of these from the same area?
Surely gunpowder just weakens over time rather than becoming “unstable”, right? It’s not nitro glycerin.
