Passenger Liner Oregon

[NEWreckDiver]

Does anyone have or know where I can get a set of deck plans for the Oregon? It is off of the coast of Long Island.

It was last owned by the Cunard line out of England.

I dont have the deck plans but on this site there is a link to them. unfortunatley it doesnt work. im guessing this guy has them, however. maybe if you contact him he can lead you to them. not really the answer your looking for but hopefully some help.

Contact steve at this site. http://www.wahoo2001.com/. He may have more dives on the oregon than anyone out there. J.D.

Not sure what good a deck plan for Oregon would be. Oregon is mostly a rubble pile.

But they would give you an idea of where you would expect to find something and a area you are looking for something special.

But thanks for your help.

the way the water moves stuff around down there for the past hundred years or so, plus thousands of divers moving things, I would be amazed if anything was in its original locations with the exception of the engine( which is one of the only things easily identified) even the massive steering quadrant has shifted over the years with the noreasters we've had. it takes a good eye and a clear day (15-20 ft vis at best) to be able to find anything on the oregon these days besides some huge lobsters..... and they won't be in the deck plans....

I appreciate that, Having made more than my share of dives on this wreck I clearly understand that after 120 years on the bottom, things may not be where they originally where.

I did not think I needed to justify why I wanted these, but would like them for reference purposes only. But thanks for your input.

wasn't asking for a justification, was just trying to point out nothing would be where it once was, but if you really want a set of plans, then steve bielinda or danny berg would be the first two people I'd contact. if neither one of them can help you, then you're in for a tough search.

Thanks, I was trying to do my own research on this. I have dove with both Dan and Steve and that may be my only choice.
