There seems to be a lot happening in archaeology this month.

"A 22-gun British warship that sank during the American Revolution and has long been regarded as one of the "Holy Grail" shipwrecks in the Great Lakes has been discovered at the bottom of Lake Ontario, astonishingly well-preserved in the cold, deep water, explorers announced Friday.

"The 80-foot sloop of war is the oldest shipwreck and the only fully intact British warship ever found in the Great Lakes, Scoville and Kennard said."

"To have a Revolutionary War vessel that's practically intact is unbelievable. It's an archaeological miracle," "

Wow,That's pretty neat they found this ship.It really is surprising that it is in such good shape.I'm sure the cold water has something to do with that
and it might also inhibit maybe some of the marine life that can eat up wooden ships ,becuase it is so cold.
