Nothing really reef related about this, other than the minimal life growing on the vessel, but I thought this was cool not only because of the find, but because they are streaming the footage live from the Nautilus.

GALVESTON, Texas - Scientists and biologists are getting a close up look at a 200-year-old sunken ship discovered off the coast of Galveston.
The vessel was originally located by Shell Oil during a survey, but now it is in the hands of scientists who are collecting artifacts and attempting to weave a story about the ship's origin and mission.
Some of the findings include several canons, a telescope, a book and medicine bottles believed to be filled with ginger.
