After searching for the stoopy ship for nearly 30 years, Jeff Hummel and Matt McCauley, the founders of Rockfish, Inc., were recently able to find the SS Pacific (left) up to 2,000 feet below sea level (bottom right). When the ship collided with the sailing ship Orpheus south of Cape Flattery in 1875, the two were fascinated by the tale - equal to about $4.8 million in today's money. It's also unknown if the crew's remains from the wreckage, which was carrying several hundred passengers eager to get their hands on gold. Hummel, on the other hand, told KIRO that he hopes to recover a "complete treasure trove of artifacts" from the ocean's bottom. Hummel and McCauley now aim to save what they find from the shipwreck in a local museum, but they might face resistance from the descendants of the nearly 400 people on board the SS Pacific on a fateful day (top right, one ship artefact from the ship).

SS Pacific (main) was carrying $180,000 of gold, around $4.8 million in today's money, when it collided with the sailing ship Orpheus south of Cape Flattery, Washington, 1875 (top right shows the ship's course).

The phenomenon is often described as a gold find, as well as other precious metals and rare-earth minerals, which lead to other miners' seeking their fortune. Matthew McCauley and Jeff Hummel, two Northwest Shipwreck Alliance experts, now believe they have found the missing ship (top left).

BRONITSKY: The Commander in Chief is trying to convince America that he did not say what it heard not more than 24-hours after giving the worst, most inflammatory presidential address of the modern era. 'I'mon, guys, I don't think any Trump supporter is a threat to the country,' he told reporters on Friday.' People who voted for Donald Trump - and now support him - were not voting against the Capitol.' They weren't voting for overruling the election. They were going for a 'philosophy' that he had formulated.' Let's break it down. 'Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our country's republic.' 'MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards-backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to condomation, and no right to marry someone you love.' Biden was not discussing a tiny part of the Republican Party at the time. He was notably referring to and slandering a large portion of the country that believes in the sanctity of life and has steadfastly praised the American tradition of excellence. This wasn't a slip of the tongue.
