I have a problem with a "positive" identification based on a side scan sonar. Seems that an extensive underwater survey of the site and the recovery of a definitive artifact i.e. builders plaque, bell, ships china or silverware with the vessels name prior to the announcement would have been nice. I know of at least one other paddle wheeler with a similar "distinctive" engine. Not saying it isn't the Walker just would have been nice to follow some sort of protocol.
