How Long is too Long?
Posted by: Dr. E. Lee Spence
It took approximately 45 years from when I first discovered (and reported) the wrecks of the Georgiana and Mary Bowers for any official from the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology & Anthropology (SCIAA) to visit the wrecks. They are the State agency in charge of the shipwrecks. This site is important archaeologically and historically. I say their decades of delay was way too long to and smacks of chronic, serial incompetency.

The steamer United States was shipwrecked in the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Romain, South Carolina in 1881. Built in Connecticut in 1864, she was the finest ship constructed by one of America’s foremost shipyards. The shipwreck was discovered and identified by underwater archaeologist Dr. E. Lee Spence. In 2012, the Federal District Court ruled that Spence was the “true and exclusive owner of the abandoned wreckage.”
