The August 27th BBC News reports that Anne Corscadden Knox is leading a dive in the Florida Keys to the wreck of the steamer Menemon Sanford which was carrying Union soldiers when it hit a reef near Key Largo. To this day, there is belief that it was sabotage by the ship's pilot.
The crew and the 156th New York escaped, but lost all of their gear and supplies.
The pilot, Captain A. W. Richardson was a southern sympathizer.
Ms. Knox was also involved with finding what is believed to be Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge.
