With the help of some friends, we have located and have a preliminary ID on a massive new wreck off Scripps Canyon in San Diego. As far as we know, nobody has been on this wreck which is hard to believe given the size and location (but it is relatively deep). I'm estimating the ship at 85+ feet long and it was some sort of sailing vessel but also looked to be configured for fishing. It is a bit of an odd one.
On the second dive, I spent a little time trying to scrub off barnacles and growth to get an ID from the name at the stern. I got close and we think it is named "Sea Dancer" but we aren't 100% sure.
