The June 23rd SC-Now had an update on the recent Mars Bluff Confederate Naval Yard in Marion County, South Carolina.
An extensive archaeological search was made of the area, including the Pee Dee River a few months ago. Two of the Brooke rifled cannons thrown overboard from the CSS Pee Dee were found in the river and they plan to return in October to look for the third one.
Presently, plans call for raising all three in early spring 2010.
