Interesting read on a Brit warship that sunk in a storm on the great lakes.

Check the link for the guys site at the bottom of the artical. The pics are amazing.

It appears to be quite well preserved regardless of the centuries it has been in the bottom. Hasn't even broken up into thousands of pieces while sinking.
