Sunken WBTS boat kills fisherman

Ok, this is not exactly up to the minute news, it happened back in January but I'm just hearing about it today. Anyway, you can read the article online at this address but be warned I got three different popup adds I had to close out before I could read the artyicle.

Now I'm curious as to the history of the Confederate vessel. Seems she was a slave ship at one time. That would make her older than vintage 1860's.

This article makes me sad for a lot of reasons, I just can't communicate the why of it.
