ECU Maritime Studies Graduate students have been mapping and documenting the Oriental, a Civil War Federal transport vessel that ran aground and sunk in the waters off Pea Island in 1862. Locally known as the "boiler wreck", the engine of the Oriental can been seen above water some 400 yards off the beach of Pea Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

  • Thats awesome! I've always wondered what that ship looked like underwater. It's still fascinating seeing the stack sticking above water. I've watched too much shark week to actually dive there so thanks for the footage. Great upload!

  • I posted a short blurb about your video at my archaeology site Ancient Digger . I tried to post a link, but youtube will not allow it.
