Thought I would give an update on this.
In the new "The Medallion" from the Texas Historical Commission, they have posted some of their findings on this post Ike discovery. It seems that the original speculation was that the ship was a Civil War era blockade runner named the Caroline. There were 3 wrecks identified during the GLO debris removal sonar scans. Two of the wrecks were previously discovered, the
Acadia and the
Will-O-The-Wisp (both blockade runners). Then there was the 3rd wreck that was found, and they believed that it may be the
Caroline. After almost a year of research they are now saying that there may have been a mix up. It now appears that the wreck most recently discovered may be the
Will-O-The-Wisp, and the previous
Will-O-The-Wisp may actually be the
Caroline. Confusing, huh?! Here is a link to the pdf file (the article is about half way down the page).
