Experts from JRS Explorations spotted the wreck, which is believed to be the armed transport ship ‘Shipwright,’ in the York River last week. Here is a link to the full article:

Wow freakin cool
 

This is practically in my back yard. They received some funding and are able to get some
Good work done. Nasty work, 0 visibility, oyster reefs everywhere. There’s a ton of old wreckage in that river
 

sounds like lots of treasure there
 

Ehh depends on your definition of treasure. Not much of the shiny stuff. But certainly a lot of iron and timbers.
