Divers exploring wreckage of the Pulaski which sank in 1838 find a gold watch stopped at 11.05pm - exactly 5 minutes after the ship's boilers exploded, sending it to a watery grave.

It's an interesting history read. It's worth it, the full article...IMO.

God I hate click bait, but that was cool! Always been fascinated by ship wrecks. Went to the Titantic exhibit when it was on tour and it blew me away for a couple days after just thinking about the totality of the whole situation.

Mike, it was fascinating to read about the people on that boat, their story. So I wanted to share it as I would do with my loved ones, my family, favorite friends.
