Tryworks from whaling brig Industry
The shipwreck in 6,000 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico, 70 miles from the mouth of the Mississippi River, had first been spotted in 2011, by a geological data company scanning an oil lease area. The wreck was logged in the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management database and left alone. The wreck was later seen again by an autonomous vehicle in 2017.
In February of 2022, while testing new equipment, SEARCH Inc., a firm that manages archaeological sites and artifacts, partnering with NOAA, identified the wreck as probably that of the whaling brig Industry, built in 1815 in Westport, Massachusetts, and lost in the Gulf of Mexico in 1836.

When Janet MacPherson started surfing around 1955, she was a rarity in a sport dominated by men. In those days, male surfers would sometimes throw rocks at her because they didn’t want a woman on their waves. She overcame the initial resistance to become a surfing icon, known worldwide and revered in her native Malibu in Southern California. Remarkably, she continued surfing for more than 60 years, riding the waves through her 70s and into her 80s. She died on March 5th, at age 84, of cancer in her home on Carbon Beach in Malibu.
