On 6-29-08 I was at the local 7-11 getting ice before we headed out to go diving. A gentleman noticed my Wreck Valley T Shirt and introduced himself. We talked a bit about local shipwrecks then he mentioned that he had the name board off the Gate City wreck. Phone #'s were exchanged and a wk later I called and made arrangements to photograph his artifact. Mr Mat Deedy told me that the name board had originally been washed up on the beach, then harvested by a local when building a chicken coup. Years later Mr Deedy's friend spotted the name board and offered to purchase it. He reported that the chicken coup was made up of scraps of old drift wood. Mr Deedy now has the name board proudly displayed in his Oceanside NY home. He also had a beautiful painting commissioned which shows the Gate City hard aground.
