Large Anchor Found

[mariner]

BC Hunter,

I am always interested to learn about old wrecks on the BC coast, or even further north. When it is appropriate, I would be interested to lean more about your wreck and its location.

Actually, I think I might have spoken to you a year or two ago about the Bute Inlet wreck, and with your partner stationed up there with his satellite phone.

Best wishes,

Mariner

That wasn't me but I know of the guy you are referring to (built a cabin right in front
of the wreck so nobody can just come in and work it also he is searching for the lost Spanish mine,
the reason the ship was there in the first place)

BC:

He had a partner who lives in Nanaimo, which is why I thought it might be you.

Still interested in the location when it is appropriate for you to share any information. Also, I have been gathering info for some time on two possible old shipwreck sites on the west coast of Vancouver Island, which somebody up there might be interested in checking out for me.
