In Search on Info About "The Governer"

I have a couple of relics from the Wreck of "The Governer". The only info that I have on the vessel is that it sunk off the coast of Virginia and that It was a Union Supply Ship during the Civil War. If anyone has any more info on this ship, please let me know. I want to learn more about its history; Thank you in advance.

Life ring from the S.S. Princess Sophia

I picked this up at a yard sale in Seattle a few years ago. It's been sitting in my garage since. I just keep moving it from spot to spot, knocking it around a bit each time. It's pretty fragile and I'd like to do something with it before I ruin it. Does it have much historical value? Is it worth any money? What should I do with it?

The Princes Sophia was built in 1910 for the Canadian Pacific Railroad to run up and down the Inside Passage on the west coast. It ran aground on a reef in 1918 with all 364 persons on board lost.

Fishingstatus wreck maps gone

I was just wondering if anyone knows why the wrecks map on the fishingstatus.com website is gone? I found it very helpful for researching a wreck since many are not officially charted, but most are documented by divers/ historians.

I’ve found a pretty solid article containing information of the one of a kind French sub surcourf’s disappearance.

The Africa, lost in 1895, discovered in near perfect condition at the bottom of Lake Huron.

A ship that vanished with her entire crew in a storm nearly 130 years ago has been found in near-perfect condition at the bottom of a lake.

The Africa was towing another vessel, the Severn, through Lake Huron, on the US-Canada border, when she disappeared in a snowstorm in October 1895.
