Pensacola, Fla. (March 24, 2006) - Using a mini excavator, a heavy equipment operator with the Pittsburgh, Pa.-based, Dick Corp. carefully covers the remains of a wrecked wooden ship aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, with a layer of clean sand while an archaeologist from New South Associates, of Stone Mountain, Ga. looks on. The artifact was discovered during the early construction phase of a new Rescue Swimmer School on board the air station. New South Assoc. Archaeologists conducted a phase II archaeological survey on behalf of the Navy to determine if the remains were historically significant and whether they should be eligible for the National Historic Register. The Navy has determined the archaeological find is significant and will remain undisturbed until it can be properly excavated at a later date. U.S. Navy photo by Gary Nichols (RELEASED)
