THE SB PULASKI: A STORY OF TRAGEDY, ROMANCE AND TREASURE

by Ellsworth Boyd | Aug 3, 2021

Salvage divers searched many years for the paddlewheel steamboat, but it wasn’t until the summer of 2018 that a surprising discovery was made by Blue Water Ventures International, a company out of Jacksonville, Florida. Partnered with Endurance Exploration, Clearwater, Florida, the salvage teams used high tech sonar with cutting edge transducers to pick up a debris field that was missed in the past by other subsea operators. Broken in two when it sank, the boat left a long trail of flotsam and jetsam far offshore, not far from the Gulf Stream. Searching a mile beyond the original recorded wreck site, divers found the boat’s stern and keel in 115 feet of water. Another large pile of wreckage was detected two miles to the south.
