I have to make time to watch it this weekend - most of the safety divers are my charter buddies. :)
 
When I first saw "Drain Chicago" I of course thought of something else entirely.

It was a pretty good episode. I enjoyed it. It was nice to see Tami Thomsen on the show.
 
I finally watched the episode and I was quite impressed with the Lady Elgin segment. I will be trying to hunt down the CGI footage of the sinking for future use.

Few know that less than 2 months after the Lady Elgin went down, the larger and more luxurious Keystone State sank in Lake Huron with all hands and was also in bad condition on the bottom.

I also read in a local newspaper that the late Harry Zych's lawyer issued a statement about people trespassing on the wreck as it is still privately owned by his foundation.

The Rouse Simmons feature was interesting, but they left a lot out for my liking (understanding that it is an hour show).
 
Until a few years ago one charter boat captain had permission to take divers to the Lady Elgin, which is how I was able to dive it. Since Captain Dale retired I don’t know whether anyone else has obtained permission.
