Ahoy Larry,
An incident happened along the Hudson during the summer of 1999. A tug
cruising down river from Albany had been dragging an anchor, grooving the
river
bottom for some distance. When it reached the twin bridges spanning
Poughkeepsie and Highland, a Gas line lying on the bottom was severed. After
the gas
line was shut and the tug stopped, many dive companies came to investigate.
Among the things found in the investigations was a couple of caissons, ie,
squares made of 14" railroad type lumber, approximately 12 ft by 12 ft by 12
ft high. The location was approximately at 410 42.5' N Lat ~ 0730 56.5' W
Long, near maker G 59, in about 53 feet of water. I know 53 ft of water is
really deep enough for any vessel using the Hudson, but adding 12 feet of
"Stuff" at the bottom that is not marked as "PA" makes the depth there only
41
feet. (I seen the videos)
Ciao, Capt Joe Guarino
