I thank all of you for your input. As a casual diver myself, I would love someday to actually see the ship where my two great uncles died. As you can immagine the mystery of the M&B#2 was a family story I grew up with. My grandfather, Hugh McLeod, brother of Robert and John on the M&B, was captain of the MATOA when he ran her aground during the great storm of 1913.
Thanks again to all.
: My great uncles were the captain and first mates when she went down in 1909. Up to a few years ago the wreck had not been located. I was wondering if that is still the case, or with all the new technology someone had found her.
