Galveston Bay: Civil-War era wreck to be recovered

The USS Westfield, scuttled during a battle in 1863, lies on the floor of Galveston Bay near Texas City. Divers are recovering whatever they can before dredging operations destroy the ship's resting place.

That's cool. I would love to see a follow-up when they get further along. See what they find.
