@California Diver has once again used his bathymetry detective skills to locate a previously unknown wreck about 250 feet deep of Pt Mugu.

We have been doing a bunch of detective work up there on the Triton with Danny Graham and dove this wreck on Friday in a very short weather window. Based on the photos and size, shape, location, depth, etc. we have determined that it is a dredge called "Squeezer" that was owned by R.A. Watson construction when it sank in July 1971 and was en-route from Long Beach to Morro Bay.

The full story with photos, newspaper articles, etc. is posted at:


Here is a photo of the end of the dredge tube:
