Ohkay....that's one way to hijack (from the grave too!) a thread I suppose...

(For references once the post above this is deleted [which will probably happen within the next half a day, or less depending who's on guard duty] the above post was a load of link crapage)

It's gone.

(Been deleting about one of those crap messages every day, grrrr!)

Never seen the movie, but it should be inspired to a novel of Clive Cussler.
If I'm not making confusion with another tale, the ironclad carried as prisoner Abraham Lincoln; the Union had to replace his kidnapped president with a figurant (later killed in a theater...)

Sounds like "Sahara" - both the movie and the book.
