Subject: HELP needed w. North American Wreck Database

HELP ??		Can you help with info on wrecks in your area?  While my 
		North American shipwreck database has now reached the new 
		milestone of more than 63,000 records.... I may have missed 
		some of the wrecks in your area.

		Whether you're an individual diver, a shop, club or charter,
		your assistance would be greatly appreciated in forwarding 
		(snail mail preferred) details of wrecks about North America
		or the West Indies, etc. I'll ensure that your local wrecks 
		are included in my database. 

		I'd appreciate receiving any info including shipwreck charts
		or posters, shop/charter brochures, club newsletters, etc.
		or even a spare copy of a local diving guide. This will help 
		to promote your area while helping to expand my database.

Expansion:	While my previous emphasis was placed on North American 
		wrecks between the 40th degree North Latitude and the North
		Pole, this area is being expanded to encompass the entire 
		North American continent.

Search Options:	This `freestanding' database can be searched by a choice of 
		12 options including NAME of vessel, YEAR/DATE of loss, 
		Official number, AREA of loss (general and specific), 
		COORDINATES, place built, builder, port of registry, owner, 
		captain/master, etc. Each record lists references used. 

1997 CD-ROM Version:	In the near future (hopefully only a few weeks) 
		copies of this database will be publicly available on CD-ROM 
		for the first time. 

To receive info about acquiring a copy of this CD, forward your MAILING 
		ADDRESS (snail mail) by e-mail. More information can be 
		found on my www site listed in the signature block below. 

Yours,
Dave Barron
