SAVANNAH,
Ga. – The armored skeleton of a
Confederate warship that spent 150 years at the bottom of the Savanah River in
Georgia is being raised to the surface one 5-ton chunk at a time. Navy divers
began work midweek retrieving an estimated 250,000 pounds of armored siding
from the wreckage of the CSS Georgia. Confederate troops scuttled the ironclad
gunship in December 1864 to prevent its capture by Union troops taking
Savannah. Navy Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jason Potts says his crew began
Wednesday breaking down three large sections of armored siding into 20 smaller
chunks and raising them to the surface. The team has already recovered four
cannons, the ship's propeller and other artifacts. The CSS Georgia is being
recovered as part of a $703 million deepening of the Savannah harbor. August 16

The salvage
operation of the Confederate warship began just around the New Moon of Aug. 14.
A chart for the New Moon at Savannah is shown here. The luminaries [21le] are
conjunct a retrograde Venus[23le] and the star Malus in the mast of the
Celestial Ship Argo.
Among Argo Navis’ themes are voyages, storms, shipwrecks and drowning.
These stars were transited at a Nov, 440 CE Solar Eclipse when the city of Ys
in Brittany was “submerged in great flood”; at a December 1703 solar eclipse at the peak of a savage
hurricane that devastated south England
and its fleet: more than 300 ships, 30,000 sailors lost their lives; in 1707 when
Sir Clowdisley Shovell, commanding an English fleet, miscalculated their
position: in heavy fog driven by gales they crashed into Western Rocks of the
Scilly Isles; when the US Navy was founded in 1775; in 1857 when the SS Central
America sank east of Carolinas; at the
discovery of two famous shipwrecks in 1985: the 363 year old Atocha and the
legendary Titanic among many others. [1]
To the
Mesoamericans Venus was the Goddess of War [2] and since a retrograde planet also
refers to the past, we have here an old warship in the news. On the MC [13cn] is the
star Canopus, alpha Argo Navis – once again a reference to a ship. The MC is
the reaction point of a T-square with Uranus-Pluto-TNP Zeus aligned with the
angles. The TNP Zeus is linked to the
military while Uranus-Pluto is a combination which refers to revolutions so that we have a clear reference to a ship
from the American Civil War.
