Have fond memories of divin that wreck...many years ago ...we dove it right after it was declared being in safe water...since the garbage barges from NY passed over it for years.... recovered a beer bottle dated 1924. was so excited, then..my bud
'Howard" pointed out..this ship sunk in 1910....took a while for me to do the math...my 1924 garbage bottle has special place on my shelf ....sure is nice to see a "before model" of the ship...rather than just the plans.
Thanks for posting the pictures.

I think he got them from National Archives. I already asked- he is going to make me up a set. My plan is to build an RC Mohawk in a bottle.
