There's cool history here and towards the end of the video you'll see some train wheels and other machinery that was left beneath the docks many decades ago, evidence of the harbor's industrial roots.

The dive begins near the larger DSS&A #6 ore dock which was built in 1931~32 and decommissioned in the late 70s', and ends over by the much older dock to the north which is where the bulk of artifacts can be found.

This video wasn't made to document any historical finds. I actually made this video to show how little trash and tires are left in this particular area after our last two organized cleanups. So far we've removed 8 tons of tires and trash from this harbor and I'm working on a future video showing divers and surface support in action.

More to follow.
