Mystery Ship Found off Alabama Coast

Shipwreck remains have intrigued me since the first time I watched the Goonies. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, the remains of a shipwreck have been recovered off the coast of Fort Morgan, Alabama.

From Discovery.com:

Archaeologists say the wreck could be that of a two-masted Civil War schooner that ran aground in 1862 or another ship from some 70 years later. The wreck had already been partially uncovered when Hurricane Camille cleared away sand in 1969. Researchers at the time identified it as the Monticello, a battleship that partially burned when it crashed trying to get past the U.S. Navy and into Mobile Bay during the Civil War.

I want to comment on this, because no-one has yet, and I feel sorry for the ship. I think it is some kind of cosmic ultra-galleon from the future, that has run itself aground to teach us all some sort of lesson about love, and sand. Also, the ship is new Jesus.

Was I the only one that read this and the first thought I had was "Alabama has a coast?"

Cool ship though! I wonder if theyre going to dig it up all the way

Can't seem to login, but what the HELL? Who let all the zealots of of the loony bin today? A simple story about a ship being discovered turned into a pointless religious blathering in just 4 posts? Good going, nutjobs. Keep your senseless jabbering to yourselves, please.

The Slapster's comment is so stunningly out of place here that I peed py pants lauging. It is completely ontopic almost everywhere else though, sadly.

I have a very narrow beam of zealotry, that only points at stories about ships. I thought I was being funny, but no. Don't mean to rock the boat, like that crazy long haired dude with the wild ideas about love, again sorry Becky.

Dorothy, how insightful! Is that really you? OMG, I mean… gosh it has been a long time.

I’d love to get together for a green tea and a philosophical conversation some time, your buyin, K?

I am also a connoisseur of vintage watercraft and I must agree… This ship is definitely either from 1862 or 1932!
