In an article in SC Now by Diane Owens dated June 11th. "Underwater archeology work to solve mysteries."
Despite losing days to the flooding of the Great Pee Dee River, quite a few artifacts were found on the river bottom, including cannon shells and cannons.
The CSS Pee Dee Research and Recovery Team had done work at the site earlier.
In 1925 and 1954, the river level was so low, the remains of the CSS Pee Dee could be seen. In 1925, the propellers were torn off and now can be seen in the Florence (SC) County Museum.
The remains of 14 building at the Navy Yard were also found.
