Hurricane Ike's waves pounded the beaches of the northern Gulf Coast and revealed a mystery ship. The roughly 150 foot long, 30 foot wide wooden ship appears to have been powered by steam.
One of the artifacts within the perimeter of the ship's hull appears to be an old water pump. A long pipe runs down the center of the ship, with smaller pipes found near by. While no one knows for sure what ship this is, historians speculate that the ship was a blockade-runner from the civil war.
