Apollo 11 Rockets

Jeff Bezos is mainly known for being one of the richest people in the world and his major accomplishment remains ‘Amazon’, but there are some of his products and findings that remain less known to many people and amongst them is the discovery of Apollo 11 rockets.

A Great Achievement

Jeff Bezos had always been in headlines for one thing or another but one thing that he is known for is creating the technology that was able to recover the rockets of Apollo 11. He found out the famous rocket that carried Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins.

Sweepstakes

Sweepstakes was a Canadian schooner and was built in Ontario in 1867 by Melancthon Simpson and weighed approximately 218 tonnes. It was in 1885 when the vessel saw it end and met its fate. But this was just the starting of something else entirely.

Sank Beautifully

The schooner sank in 1885. It was carrying a huge amount of coal when it sank. The repairs could not reach in time to help the vessel and the vessel sank. The coal was retrieved after the schooner sank but the water is pretty shallow and can still be seen from the surface.

Blackbeard’s Cannons

Blackbeard was an English pattern who was known for his loots and was one of the greatest pirates to walk on the face of the planet or should we say to sail on the face of this planet. The stories about him are often considered as legends.

Fame

It was Blackbeard’s ship that gained more fame than any other ship ever did. In 2013, according to some archaeologists what they discovered was nothing else but cannons from the Blackbeard’s ship. They recovered five cannons and 2 other large artifacts.
