The Maryland State Highway Administration, the US Navy, and Maryland Historical Trust are currently searching for the USS Scorpion in the Patuxent River. Past underwater archaeology surveys revealed a War of 1812 wreck in these waters, but not enough evidence was gathered to identify her as Commodore Joshua Barney's flagship.

This week we'll meet the principal investigator in the Scorpion search, Dr. Robert Neyland who also led the search for the U.S. Hunley off the South Carolina coast. The Hunley was brought to the surface in August 2000.
