Would very much appreciate if someone could post GPS coordinates for this wreck (it is about 40 miles out of Cape Fear Inlet). And if you have any experience diving it, would like to hear about it. Thks.

oh my gosh ive always wanted to be someone to be the "first to dive a wreck". but that usually means finding a wreck people dont know about (which is hard), or getting there before the navy or coast guard divers (they will probably get mad at me if i am interfering with a search and rescue/recovery operation), or sink a boat myself (planning an artificial wreck is hard, and sinking a boat without the owner's permission is usually frowned upon).I was the first person to dive it back around 1987.
Its a single piston steam engine that rises up from the bottom (~90fsw) like a church steeple. Quite spectacular when the viz is good. I have a few dishes and the Loran coordinates stashed somewhere.

maybe someday the stars will align for me
