Volunteers and members of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission use fire hoses, hand shovels and heavy equipment to remove the sand and pull what remains of a shipwreck off the beach in Corolla, N.C. on Tuesday, April 6, 2010. The wreck could be the oldest shipwreck on the Carolina coast. (L. Todd Spencer | The Virginian-Pilot) Image 1 of 5

I am sure this “graduate student” is due for at least 10 years of government grants to “study” this wreck.

Looks like the guy is taking a huge pee.

Only the most incredibly brave set off in ships for Virginia.

"I am sure this “graduate student” is due for at least 10 years of government grants to “study” this wreck."

Preserving our history and heritage is one of the more benign uses of taxpayer dollars.

Details might be found in the United Kingdom's Public Record Office, Rodgers said.

He probably won't find much there, a better bet would be the National Maritime Museum, although the pickings are pretty thin for a merchant vessel of this era.

Wow. How cool.

Get it up and out before the oil slick hits its and reduces any chance of recovery or restoration.

Wow! I could have had a relative aboard that ship. Family records show that an ancestor came to Virginia on the First Supply in 1607-08. Nobody knows what happened to him, but his daughter came a few years later to claim his estate, married, and founded our line. The bones of that hulk are beautiful.

Based on the pictures they sure don’t have a lot to start with. Best of luck to these guys working on this.
