Nice bit of history.

The newly discovered site could spur the snorkeling and diving industry on the island.

Interesting links to read up on Captain Kidd

From what I read in the Indy Star, a local scuba diver, Ferruccio Fiorucci made the discovery.

DR's getting a lot of free publicity out of this. CNN still is showing a report about it just about every hour.

I wonder how one hides a ship in 10 feet of water.

It is remarkable that the wreck has remained undiscovered all these years given its location, just 70 feet off the coast of Catalina Island in the Dominican Republic in less than 10 feet of seawater.

Funny, that was my initial thought...figured the Dominicans scoured every inch of coastline for fish or lobster. I'm sure we'll souvenir boat pieces for sale soon.
