New Virgin Wreck Discovered Chicago

[Jack Hammer]

New Virgin Wreck found locally. We have been referring to it as"NiCool's Wreck" because Capt. Nicole from Double Action Dive Charters found it and she's a really cool person.

There is video of the site in the link. I was unable to get the video to post here.

The video did post, thanks for it.

That is a truly beautiful wreck, the wheel still intact. Evidently wood hull. How'd she stay undiscovered for so long?

I, a warm water diver in the Gulf and Florida, obviously do not know. "Our" wrecks, in salt water, don't fare as well. Even so, a wreck can take on a different type of beauty as a "ship of the deep" with all the creatures who make it a home.

It reminds me of that Shakespeare poem which, though it refers to a body lost at sea, describes that evolution:

I was wondering where I left that ship?
