Well, I watched the whole show at Larry's link - 45 minutes of my life I can't get back, LOL. Interesting, but I was hoping they'd make a positive ID on the locos. Looking at the details of the "Pioneer" 2-2-2 online I think they are at least correct that the locos are Seth Wilmarth products. I'd love to know the chain of events that caused the engines to be out there. Too bad there are no surviving records from the locomotive works or the Cumberland Valley RR that documented their loss.
And here’s a link to a map showing the location of a submerged wrecked steam engine & tender in much shallower water and a little easier to get to for most of us:
