USS Revenge wrecked when it a reef near Watch Hill, Rhode Island
But before that victory ever happened, the Revenge wrecked when it hit a reef in a storm on January 9, 1811.That is, until two men from eastern Connecticut, armed with this metal detector, decided to find it.
"On the third dive we went in a straight line and bingo, we hit a cannon, the first cannon. We found four more cannons they were long cannons, they are sixty inches and we found what we believed to be the anchor, a ballast bar, and just regular unidentified metal objects," said diver Craig Harger, of Colchester, CT.
They have now - judging by this packed room of history buffs and locals at the Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
