Dead Confederates, A Civil War Era Blog 
They were headed to protect the money pit. But really that will be great if they can find the markings and figure it out.
Reminds me of the pre-CW railroad engines they found off of the coast of New Jersey a few years back.
There is a pretty good episode of the old deep-sea detectives show about that on the history channel. Maybe 10 years ago.
