I would like to clarify info on the Thomas H tugboat. She sank on May 30, 1945 and was found on May 15, 1986 by myself and fellow diver Jim A. The true coordinates are 43 degrees 12.236 North, 75 degrees 51.167 West. One of the barges that went down with her is the Jackie Eagan is located at 43 degrees 12.281 North, 75 degrees 51.282 West and the second barge the Andy is located at 43 degrees 12.200 North, 75 degrees 51.376 West. They are all fairly close to one another, but not close enough to swim to on the bottom you will waste alot of air. Better off dropping on each one so you can enjoy your dive.
Back in 1987 we did pull a permit from New York State Museum in Albany to collect & excavate archeological materials on state lands. All artifacts are on display at the H. Lee White Museum in Oswego, NY, if you wish to
visit and find out her story.
Two scans of the tug and some underwater photos of many taken years ago. The attachment is of the Jackie Eagan and the Andy that sank with
the Thomas H.
