I'll be diving several more times on the
Morrell and Tug Lucy near by.
There are no charters here, it is near
a Uranium / Lime plant, should limit
your exposure, DO NOT DRINK THE WATER.
From here you see the large white
light-house 5 miles south, with 3 wreck
on the reef, the reef West of light-house
also has a wreck of a schooner, that
item is a 6 ton rudder only, the schooner
left it behind. Need exact location?
One more thing, there are about eleven
wrecks in the river, very poluted, because
of the above / Canadian city DUMPS ALL of
their ROW sewage RIGHT INTO THE RIVER
without even a chiken-screen filter.
On LIME ISLAND there is a wreck.
The colonial site has a large amount of ammo
in the water, however the location is
extremely poluted, dangerous to your health.
Only the Morrell and the wreck to the West
area has clean water.
I'll drop my boat by june 23 or later.
Return message here if interested.
The scrap yard has a very good
vis, bring a camera. 4 miles East, there
is unedentified wreck, may run there.
Since 83, run divers to it, and to
the "boiler" just East of there.
The wreck of the boiler (very big)
is visible brom the surface, and
locals know were it is, I have photos,
the nearby white fiberglass schooner, and
boiler wreck.
