I installed six camera on the USS Mohawk when she was sunk as an artificial reef on July 2, 2012.

The camera was labeled #5 on an aluminum lid attached to a steel 4X4" housing welded to a cat walk in the upper level of the engine room.

I am offering $200 for the recovery of the SD card and any pieces of the camera and housing. If the SD card is found and a file showing the explosion can be recovered the reward is a GoPro 2 camera.

The video file from a camera installed on the crows nest was corrupted from the explosion but I was able to recover it using computer forensic software.

This photo shows what the GoPro housing looks like:

This photo shows the location on the engine room catwalk where the housing was welded to the ship:

Happy Hunting.
