War of 1812 Shipwreck Possibly Discovered in Connecticut River

From the September 30, 2013, WTIC 1080 CBS, Connecticut.

The remains of a ship was found in Old Saybrook in several feet of water off Watrous Point about a mile south of the harbor. All that was found is a ballast pile since the rest of the wooden ship has disintegrated in the water.

Old musket balls have been found buried in the lawn on the banks of the river near the ballast stones.

Archaeologists have started a dig and think it might be the remains of the Young Anaconda.
