Hi Everyone, I am about as "newb" as a newbie could possibly be. I live here in Florida, and my family lives in the Bahamas. I have been reading through the posts on this site, and I must say that its all so interesting. I caught the bug a few years ago. My father would drag me around looking for objects, and we would inspect them. Difficult salvage law in the Bahamas when your dealing with a moratorium on the issue, but its fun to look anyways, I just always put things back and note where I've found them.
I am really excited to begin some good old fashioned fat-chewing with all of you experts. I deeply respect all of your wisdom and experience, and if I can help with info sources, examples, or photos for entertainment, I certainly will try!!
Now that introductions have been properly issued, I wanted to pose a question about the "El Capitan" that went down off the NW end of New Providence Island. Does anyone have information on it?? Dates, what she was carrying, where was she coming from and on route to? Were there survivors or any information on the incident of wreckage itself?
Also, does anyone know of any British HMS ships of sail from circa 1824 that went down in the general vicinity between Spanish wells and Paradise Island??
Cornelius, Diving Doc, and good lord, pretty much everyone on here seem to have an inexhaustible wealth of experience and knowledge. Thanks very much your help, and I look forward to learning from all of you!!
Thanks
