Well we had the pleasure of diving the Comet in Kinston. The Comet is a dual paddle wheeler that sank in 1861 and is in remarkable shape considering its age.

Here is the video:

Nice! Had the chance to get on it back quite a few years. Lake was a sheet of glass, and 20' down the line, the wife thumbed the dive.... maybe some day again...
 
Nice video! Will have to go see it by myself.
 
The Comet certainly is a nice wreck. It's amazing that the paddle wheels are still in tact this long after the sinking (sank in 1861).

Mat.
