Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Civil War cannon pulled from Texas City Ship Channel - 11/18/09 - Houston News - abc13.com: "It hasn't seen the light of day in nearly 150 years -- a Civil War cannon, lying deep in the waters of the Texas City channel.
[. . . .]
The artifacts were first discovered back in 2005 and have to be removed as part of the effort to deepen the Texas City Channel. The Army Corps of Engineers has commercial divers in the water to remove a sunken Civil War ship, the USS Westfield, and its contents, including a cannon."
