Sinking oil threatens historic Gulf shipwrecks

In this Sept. 2, 2007 photo released by Jim Meyers, a memorial tribute is shown on the sunken USS Oriskany off the coast of Pensacola, Fla. The Navy sank the aircraft carrier in May 2006 to create an artificial reef. Not just flora and fauna are getting caked in oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill: So too is the Gulf of Mexico's barnacled history of pirates, sea battles and World War II shipwrecks.
