Where do we sink the Texas Clipper? Hypothetical Poll!

[Debraw]

I have noticed a lot of people lurking on the artificial reef threads but not a lot of comments. We know you have an opinion but maybe you just don't want to voice it in a public forum? You can participate in a poll and still remain anonymous.

If you did have a choice where would you like to see the Texas Clipper sunk, where would it be? This is a hypothetical and will most likely not change the current situation. BUT if we had been polled what would have been the results?

I'll go on record.

Somewhere between Galveston and Freeport. It's fairly central for most of the population centers, and has good infrastructure already.

I do hope however that we can get a ship other than the Texas.

I would agree with this. Maybe as far south as Corpus. What is the depth required for a vessle this size?

Probably in the general area of 130'. The Spiegel Grove is in 135'. The Oriskany, a carrier, is scheduled to go to 210'. I believe that this puts the highest point of both at around 60' (IF they stay upright!).

I would like to point out that South Padre and Stetson Bank already have great diving nearby. Texas is so big, we need to spread out our diving areas.

 

[Debraw]

So Rumbum, where would you suggest? That's what this poll is all about! I would love to spread the diving out also. So where would you sink a giant ship?

 

[texdiveguy]

I vote for Lake Superior!

Anywhere that will not detract from more opportunities to dive Stetson.

Somewhere away from the fishing industry

I would add it to the VA Fogg area.
