The vessel is equipped with many of its original fixtures including the swim ladder, hatch covers, steering wheel and compass. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Rob Gardin who donated the boat and cleaned it up for sinking. Rob had the honor of being one of the first divers to dive the site. More underwater sites are coming soon!
