There are plans being made to raise the CSS Georgia. The ship has been on the bottom of the Savannah River for nearly 150 years. Officials want to raise the ship because it stands in the way of dredging machines needed to deepen the channel. The estimated cost will be about 14 million dollars.
The Georgia was a confederate iron clad used to protect the harbor near Fort Jackson.
The ship was scuttled by its crew in order to prevent its capture by Union Troops. Officials are still unclear as to what will happen to the ship when it is raised, but many believe it will end up in a museum somewhere.
