A submarine archaeologist, Barry Clifford, claims to have discovered the remains of the Santa María, one of Christopher Columbus's ships, off the coast of Haiti. Clifford, who specializes in shipwrecks, first explored the site in 2003 and returned in May, motivated by evidence of a 15th-century cannon. He believes the evidence suggests it could be one of the ships Columbus used to reach America in 1492. Despite the excitement, Clifford emphasizes the need for careful excavation. The location matches descriptions in Columbus's diary, and a nearby fort built by Columbus adds to the historical context. Clifford plans to return to Haiti in June to discuss further steps with authorities and recommends starting rescue operations soon to prevent looting.
