[aue-mike]

(FYI - the "South Jack Wreck" is a popular wreck resting in 65 feet of water off the mouth of Tampa Bay)

The Association of Underwater Explorers (AUE) has tentatively identified the "South Jack Wreck" as the luxury yacht NOHAB, formerly Kaiser Wilhelm's LENSAHN, which was built in Germany in 1901. The 143-foot long Lensahn hosted world leaders and other dignitaries including the Czar of Russia, King George of England, and President Theodore Roosevelt.

Information on the identification can be found in the following announcement:

More information on this historical identification will be posted on the AUE website in the near future...

Cheers,
Mike

Why? Is there something wrong with the wreck or waters at the site

Mike, very cool work man!

Walter, isn't this the location of the Bull encounter?

If anyone is interested, I think there may be a trip out to the NOHAB on Sunday, March 2. Second dive is likely the 10 Fathom Wreck, an unidentified wreck in approximately 60 feet of water.

That's where I met TheCaptain and CoolTech. Talk about a frightening experience!

Think Running with the Bulls.........
