My father told me about the U-boat wreck when I was a kid in the early 70s. It was common knowledge among divers and fishermen in the area around that time. Rumor was that someone had drowned while diving it. I don't know if there would be any way to research that in the local newspaper archives that far back. I'm sure that if it happened there would have been some mention of it in the Saint Petersburg Times or Tampa Tribune.

I have a submarine on one of my charts but she's sitting on top of a 29 fathom marker so i doubt it's the same boat way out in 175 feet of water, hell of a paddle to shore lol.

I also have a b52, training plane, and one marked plane. Supposedly they are all very unknown but i haven't been able to get out far much lately so they are on the top of the list when the new rig gets wet.

With every big storm new stuff is uncovered and old stuff gets buried, we could turn the corner on egmont one day and see it sticking out of the surface, you just never know in the gulf of mexico.

Would you be willing to do charters to them?
