Edmund Fitzgerald Anniversary

The last newsletter on line from the GLSPS is Fall 2005.
That is to bad because the first 3 pages of the Spring 2006 newsletter cover the Harriet B.
If you belong to the GLSPS check your old newsletters.

The Harriet B. was 283 ft long and started it's life as a carferry. It is a cool ship because it was built when ships were converting wood constrution to steel. That means it is a composite ship(wood sheathed with steel).
It was a wood ship that was empty when it was hit in the fog by the 504ft steamer Quincy Shaw.
Today it sits upright and because of its slow sinking is in real good shape.
It is in about 640ft. of water.
Six of us lead by Randy Beebe and Jerry Eliason have collected about three hours of drop camera footage on the site.
Unfortunately I can't run a table on this dive because my deco software ONLY goes to 600ft.
Go big or stay on the porch. ;D
