FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Researchers find historic, 19th-century wooden-hulled vessel buried in ocean floor
Scientists aboard the Okeanos Explorer reportedly discovered the approximately 200-year-old, wooden-hulled ship while on a 56-day excursion in a relatively unexplored area 200 miles off the Gulf coast that ended April 29.
A rare glimpse of the 19th-century ocean artifact wasn’t all that was found, however, the shipwreck was reportedly laden with additional seafaring artifacts including anchors, navigational instruments, glass bottles, ceramic plates, cannons and boxes of muskets.
“Citizen explorers” were also able to participate in the robot-led excursion via Internet live stream, NOAA said on its website.
The shipwreck site was reportedly first discovered via sonar in 2011 during an oil and gas survey conducted for Shell Oil Company, according to reports.
Historic activity in the Gulf of Mexico that may have been a source of the wrecked ship include battles during the War of 1812, events leading to the Texas Revolution and the Mexican-American War, according to a Department of Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) researcher, Jack Irion.
