Underwater Civil War Shipwrecks Could Become Fort Fisher Park
Fort Fisher area in North Carolina may host an underwater park turning Civil War shipwrecks off its coast into dive attractions. Archaeologists from East Carolina University and the state underwater archaeology unit plan mapping next summer, surveying divers interest, and creating brochures, lanes, and buoys if funding allows.
