Wreck of the Transpac

3 posts
  1. This is a fascinating wreck. In 1986 an inexperienced fishing boat captain turned across the path of oncoming freighter and was "t-boned". The boat sank with the loss of one life. What makes this wreck amazing is that the channel it sank in has extremely shear walls and drops to a depth of 1500 ft. The boat came to rest vertically on one of the walls with its stern perched on a small ledge at 275 ft. The wreck is beautifully intact with the bow at 115ft and the super structure jutting out into the channel. It is like something from an action adventure movie. Here is my dive buddy in front of the bow at a depth of around 125ft, and no we didn't go to the bottom of the wreck. :drink:

  3. Here is an image of the wheelhouse. It is beautifully intact. All of the windows in the wheelhouse are still there. A little spit and polish and they would gleam like new (just kidding). (Click on the image for more details).
