@California Diver and I have identified a new wreck in the Palos Verdes / San Pedro area. I believe Ray Artnz was the first person to locate it. We have spent multiple dives on the site gathering evidence to confirm the identity of the wreck.

The ship is the fishing vessel Nightingale which was built circa 1915 and sank from a fire in September 1930. That would make the ship at least 105 years old.

The complete story and pictures are posted here:
