The discovery of the steamship Le Lyonnais, lost since a maritime disaster in 1856, marks a pivotal moment for maritime history, offering closure and new beginnings.
Jennifer Sellitti emphasized the significance of the find, stating, 'Finding it in some ways is closure, in some ways is the end. In some ways it's the beginning.'
Le Lyonnais, measuring about 260 feet in length, was an early steamship, crucial for transporting passengers and cargo between New York and France.
The next steps after the wreck's discovery include documenting the site, mapping it, and determining which artifacts can be salvaged for further study.
