Effort to raise rare engine scrubbed at Point Lookout
The Army Corps of Engineers postponed lifting a rare steam engine from the 1850 wreck of the Columbus in Chesapeake Bay after a cradle failed and storms loomed. The paddle wheel hub was raised, but the main engine remains submerged. The 220-foot Baltimore ship sank after catching fire with 9 of 15 aboard dying.
