: I'm trying to locate underwater footage, stills or first hand accounts from divers who've been on the William B. Davock, which lies in c. 210 ft. of water off Pentwater, Michigan. She was lost along with the Anna C. Minch and the Novadoc in the big Armistice Day Storm of 1940. She was found in May of 1972 by John Steele, Kent Bellrichard and Bill Cohrs, who allegedly shot some video of her, but I can't seem to track it down. She currently lies upside-down with coal strewn about and her rudder hard to port. There are a number of discrepancies about her depth. Some divers who've visited her place her keel and 155 ft., but this seems unlikely, as she reportedly lies in over 200 and her build specs. indicate that she was 23 ft. deep. I'd like to get an accurate depth for the bottom and for the vessel's keel as well as first hand accounts of her appearance and possibly photos or even video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are there accurate numbers available for it?
