The 1028-ton, 126-foot, 5-inch-long vessel was born in Scotland in 1881 as the British steamer Craigallion and was used in 1884 to tow from New York to Central America one of the great dredges employed in the construction of the Panama Canal
The wreck of a 19th-century steamer that smuggled guns, carried hundreds of thousands of dollars and possibly gold, wrecked twice has been discovered off the coast of South Carolina
