VB Tech had great and successful weekend on the Marine Electric Expedition
planned and coordinated by Capt JT on the Miss Lindsey out of Virginia
Beach. We departed Saturday about 12:15 AM, with 1-2 foot seas and arrived
on station around 6 AM, and hooked the wreck. By 8 AM the initial dive teams
were in the water setting up the preliminary bountries for the survey and
penetrations. Each team made several dives through the day and Sunday. Capt
JT and Rick Atkinson with support from Erik Deisterconcentrated on the stern
section and achieve several deep penetrations into the stern area including
the galley, passageways, and engine areas. Video and photograph
documentation of the wreck and penetration areas were made in spite of the
low vis and sediment. Teams investigated the bow section and made several
pentrations. The group is still assembling all the information and
artifacts. Several answers were found by the teams, it should cause some
previous divers to the wreck to reexamine what they claim to have done on
the wreck.

Additional information will be release in JT's trip report or a made
available by a freelance writer who was onboard for a magazine article and
is also writing a book on the "Marine Electric".
