Sunday march 5th, 2000 9 divers enjoyed the great vis on the Prins Willem V wreck off Milwaukee. The divers could be seen from the surface while along the port rail at 60 feet. The Tug Gillem was also located later in the afternoon, only 1/2 mile west of the Willie, and a mooring was made fast to the towing bit on the rear deck. Sinking in June 1981 the wreck today is listing to port and has setteled into the bottom 4 feet. Zebra mussel coverage is near 100% on both wrecks. The silt has built up over a foot deep in the engine room of the Gillen. Jerry -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
