Did you build that model? That's a neat idea. Maybe every dive shop should have a scale model of the wrecks that they visit while they were still ships. That would be an interesting approach to get more people interested. Hmm...
cdiver.. that is a very cool idea!
Here's a picture of me and my boat before it became a wreck back in the 1970's. I had just finished spending half a year's salary (as a teacher) rebuilding the engine and tricking up the boat before it went down. I think it was the name change to "Eleutheria" (freedom in Greek) that did it.I don't think too many Catalina divers dive this wreck though... not even me.
