It's somewhat hard to imagine that a vessle that size could even be coverd with sane in the first plave.  I understand the concept be casue bascally the boat sank in the sand, but still hard to wrap your mind around it.

I read several years ago of a civil war or indian war era ship that was uncovered in a corn field in Missouri or Kansas or somewhere, that sank in the Missouri river, that was apparently miles from where it is today.
