Endurance: Shackleton's lost ship is found in Antarctic

What was one of the world's greatest undiscovered shipwrecks is identified on the Antarctic seafloor.

Last Saturday, on the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest's funeral, his ship the HMS Endurance was found. His expedition was a remarkably successful failure, and in my opinion it was one of the most incredible cases of self rescue ever achieved. I hope some others here get a thrill out of this, my Mom sent me this link early this morning and it was really exciting!

I've been trying to get folks interested in this wreck that's over on Boca Chica Beach not far from the SpaceX launch site.
It's the remains of the Moctezuma, a 9-gun Mexican Navy ship that was defeated by the Texas Navy Ship Invincible in 1836.
It's really a strange feeling to realize that you are literally driving your truck right over a real historic warship... .
