Cool little story I just watched. Was pretty interesting

That was a cool video. It looked like the ropes were still intact after 130 years in 300' of water. It will be interesting to see if they can salvage this ship intact. And given the condition of the ship, they may even be able to salvage and preserve the cedar shake shingles for some modern use. Salt cargo is probably a no go, though...

I really wanted to see what was inside the ship. And the theory about the ice sinking it is wild. That would have been so scary to have gone down like that
