Fellow Divers,
  
      As you are possibly already aware, this past spring we located and
positively identified the elusive wreck of the WWI passenger liner SS
Carolina, approximately 70 miles off the New Jersey coast in about 250 fsw.
On subsequent dives, I located something which may (or may not) be of value.
After giving it much thought, I went to federal court to secure salvage
rights to the wreck.  I have since been apointed substitute custodian of the
wreck and placed it under arrest.  As a result, I also have incurred  an
obligation to the court to document our activities on the wreck.

        The discovery of a virgin wreck in a remote location is an
interesting opportunity.  It occured to us that we could use the internet to
help us collect and display information on the wreck and our activities on
it.  With the help of Tom and Tracey Wagner at the New Jersey Scuba web page
(http://www.njscuba.com), we have developed a virtual museum site for the SS
Carolina and the doors are ready to open.  We have tried to include in the
museum the things about the wreck that we thought would be interesting, but
we expect the site to grow and change.  The Virtual Board of Directors of
the museum are looking to the museum visitors for advice, criticism, and
ideas to improve the site.  Please stop by and take a look.  The address is

                                        Thanks,
                                        John Chatterton
