Artifact History:	Unknown

Artifact Condition:	A large piece of ship which appears to be the keel. A slight curvature is present and support beams or ribs can be seen. The vessel appears to have a metal framework with wood planking. A very long section of chain that went to nothing was located nearby and has formed itself into a reef feature indicating it has been there a considerable time.

Additional Information:	This artifact was located during a science dive, so was not surveyed in any great detail nor was the surrounding area searched for more portions. It was quickly photographed and the dive continued which happen to be the direction the long chain lay.
