Hi all,

I'm not really a diver -- I happened to arrive on this site via a search for information about my grandfather's old ship, the Black Point -- and it's destroyer the U853.

It seems that it is a popular place to dive. I was wondering if anyone who has taken photos/video of their dives in that area would be willing to share them with me? I found on this board a dive from April 2005, but the attached photo no longer loads.

I see one from recently, about a week ago, as well.

Anyone willing to help?

Sorry for registering under somewhat false pretenses, just trying to find some info about my grandfather's old ship.

Thanks,

Try U-tube I have watched a dives on that sight there. I plan on diving that sight in the next few months but I don't have a camera.

BTW you should try diving. You will get hooked.
 
You could try Bill Palmer. Shipwreck Videos,submarines,u-boats,Outer Banks,Cape Hatteras,Rhode Island
He does a good deal of videography on local wrecks. His 853 video may contain shots from the Blackpoint. I know that he has some footage from that wreck as he presented it once at BTS a few years ago. If it is not in one of his commercially available videos, perhaps he could provide a copy of the video that we viewed at the Beneath the Sea show.
