Resting in less than 10 feet of Caribbean seawater, the wreckage of Quedagh Merchant, the ship abandoned by the scandalous 17th century pirate Captain William Kidd as he raced to New York in an ill-fated attempt to clear his name, has escaped discovery -- until now. An underwater archaeology team from Indiana University announced on Dec. 13th the discovery of the remnants.
I admit, I don't know a lot about Captain Kidd and I don't really care much for the remains of his ship. But take a look at the watch this student is wearing while documenting the wreckage ... pretty darn cool to see the "Triton" (see below) in its element like that!
