Endurance Exploration Group Inc (EXPL)

During April 2017, Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. ("Endurance" or the “Company”), operating through its previously announced joint venture, Swordfish Partners (the “Joint Venture”), has located and conducted side scan and other survey activities of what the Company believes to be the remnants of an early 1800s passenger steamship located in international waters off the coast of North Carolina. (the “Wreck site”)

I found this. Not sure if any have been salvaged.

Though the origins of organized lifesaving are rooted in the experiments and efforts of the Northern coastal states, for decads untold numbers of ships have been coming ashore on North Carolina beaches. The Henry, the Horacio and the Islington all foundered in the winter of 1820. The elegant steamship Home, which sailed right into the terrible "Racer Storm," was one of 16 wrecks recorded in 1837. Grounded just 100 yards off Ocracoke, the Home's shipmates realized they had only two life preservers on board. 90 people perished in the surf.

The Pulaski in 1838, the Congress in 1842 and the French bark Emilie in 1845 were all victims of the shoals off the Outer Banks. And the toll continued to mount. The Mary Anna, the Ocean, the Magnolia. During some storms, such as the brutal gale of July 24, 1850, that took five vessels at Diamond Shoals alone, miles of beach would be strewn with debris and bodies. It can never be known how many lives were lost during this period.
