Georgetown, SC residents read of an upcoming Confederate Foundation project to bore through silt at Winyah Bay to recover artifacts from the 200-foot USS Harvest Moon, flagship of Rear Adm. Dahlgren, sunk March 1, 1865. About 20 divers and crew will drill and pump mud away to access cabins and relics, with hopes of building a museum for artifacts.

Court blocks further I-93 work toward Franconia Notch
NH Highway Commissioner Robert Whitaker laments a federal judge injunction halted 1978 work on northern I-93 segments from Littleton to St. Johnsbury. Judge Hugh Bownes cited irreparable harm to Franconia Notch and Old Man of the Mountain without a full environmental impact study. The ruling exempts the Connecticut River bridge replacement.
