After her adventure at the lighthouse, it seemed like a few extra days at the cottage were necessary to relax and recuperate. Carolina hoped to do some scuba diving with her father. He was a master diver, and Carolina had been diving with him almost since she could swim. One morning, Carolina's father had an idea.

"Why don't we take a trip to the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum and have a look at all the wreck dive information again? We may be able to find something new, like a new wreck site to investigate. What do you think?"

Chapter Two—Eureka!

Later that day, Carolina and her dad drove to the museum. They spent some time looking at the various exhibits, but it was the wreck maps that intrigued them both. In particular, Carolina kept reading over the information on two ships that went down very close to each other toward the end of the 19th century. The wrecks of the two ships had become entangled with one another, although the bow of the second ship was never found. Carolina whispered to her dad, "Pssst! Look at this. Do you think we could look for the bow of this ship? It's called the Eureka. What if we actually found it?"

Her father smiled as he looked at his maps. "It looks like it's within a safe diving depth for us. Sure, let's give it a try. Weather permitting, of course." They grinned at each other.

Over the next few days, Carolina, her father, and a few of her father's diving friends spent some time diving off the coast. They were all excited about the prospect of finding something that no other diver had discovered yet. They started by diving around the wreck of the two ships and then analyzed nautical maps to try to determine where the rest of the ship might be. Before each dive, everyone on board was involved in equipping the other divers with properly fitting gear and performing the safety checks that all divers follow before getting in the water.

After a few days of diving, they felt that they had exhausted all the possibilities around the wreck. One afternoon, while everyone was talking about giving up, Carolina was outside peering at the sea through binoculars. She spotted what looked like a small rock formation just under the surface of the water a few hundred meters to the east. She thought for a minute and had an idea.

She explained her theory to her father and the other divers. Could it be that the Eureka actually hit rocks elsewhere and then somehow staggered on past where most of the wreck currently lay? Everyone agreed that it was a possibility, although not a probable one. Carolina begged everyone to try the site the next day. They would spend one more day diving, and if they didn't find anything, she promised that she'd never bother them again about the Eureka. Eventually, everyone agreed.

Chapter Three—Diving into History

It was on the second descent that day, near the exposed rock, that Carolina glanced down and was sure she could make out something sticking through the sand on the seabed. She was so excited that she could barely control her breathing. Carolina was worried that she was expelling all her air and wouldn't get the chance to investigate it.

She calmed her breathing and motioned to the other divers. They swam over to the object. First, they examined its base and then its strength. It was definitely attached to something. They started to gently brush and remove the sand around the pipe while trying to make sure they didn't disturb any marine life that may be in the sand.

After a short while, Carolina's father, who was removing the sand, turned to her and gave her the okay sign. Then he shouted "Whoop-ee!" into his regulator. They'd found it! It was buried in sand, but they were sure this was the missing hull of the Eureka that had been lying at the bottom of the sea for over a hundred years.

Carolina had solved another mystery. PLSS ANSWER!
