On Sunday, Febuary 18, 2001, The Submerged Cultural Resources Exploration 
Team (http://www.scret.org) officially kicked off a new project aimed at 
documenting the fallen Tacoma Narrows Bridge with a dive to the wreckage of 
the old bridge.  "Galloping Gertie" as it is known is a significant 
cultural icon of Washington's history and is well known for its short life 
spanning the narrows and its awesome demise due to high winds and 
engineering flaws.  The wreckage currently lies in over 200 feet of water 
in one of the highest current areas in Puget Sound.

Please visit our website at the following links for a project overview and 
a description of the dive:
