Nice! :up: Some stunning crystal-clear footage there. She looks to be submerged to her foredeck in Mississippi delta sediment.

Well, there is the unsettling background music. The word "tomb" did come to mind while I was watching.

Doubt there'd be anything left of the crew by now. 150 bar pressure down there, and seventy odd years worth of exposure to the sea. Their clothing might still be around, shoes and that, but their remains will be long gone.
May they rest in peace.

Thanks for the update, I wasn't sure because the conning tower looked to me like the older one, and of course, I had a feeling that would have no bearing. Once again thanks for the update!:yeah:
