: : The Wenona suggestion below, at least for me, casts serious doubts on the other reports here because I have a photo of the Wenona lying HIGH and DRY on the beach at McLain State Park (just east of the entry) with local citizens standing on her gunwales. Local papers had a lot of information making it very clear that she was left on the beach. In fact, her bones were visible on the beach into the 1970s! This is the problem with making speculative statements about possible remains based solely on dive accounts. It is always necessary to first have accurate historical info.
: I agree Steve your story telling is just to much. Every bit of dive store gosip ends up as historical fact after you get ahold of it. You have just got to stop this your going to get someone hurt.

: : : One other strange wreck of no importance is the WENONA, shallow, you might be able to see it from the surface at high noon.
: : : Located at 8970-319331-465636, and for reference, it is therefore just located a "shot" distance from the Maplehurst.

I am sorry for arriving late to the topic but are you floks suggesting that those two French Minesweepers that were lost during the First World War are now located? This might be known to everyone but me, however I missed the news that they were found. Where are they located and when were they discovered? Thanks, Mark Lehde
