Saturday October 29, 2011: we will dive the wreck of the G&D (Yankee)
A 296 foot long and 40 wide steel hulled Great Lakes Steamer. She was built by Globe Iron Works in December of 1890. She displaced 2,418 Gross tons. She was originally named German then changed to Yankee and she sailed under the flag of the United States Steel Corp. The company’s entire fleet sailed exclusively on the Great Lakes. It seams that during WWI she was cut in half, brought out of the Great Lakes then reconstructed and transferred to the East Coast for the coal trade. In June 19, 1919 while in route from Norfolk, Virginia to Boston, Massachusetts carrying a cargo of coal, the Yankee entered a dense fog. Soon after she collided with the Italian Liner Argentina. The Argentina struck and sheared off the Yankee stern, The Argentina’s propeller ripped through her hull, causing a fatal wound. Captain John Lachenmayer, an EDBA member, found the artifacts on the wreck known as the G & D which identified it as the true Yankee. She lies 32 miles SE of the Rockaway Inlet in 110 foot of water and has a 15 foot relief. This wreck is known for big lobsters, fish and scallops.(A,L,F,)
On Sunday Oct. 30 we will dive the wreck of the Bald Eagle
A Wood 200 foot Sailing Vessel sunk in the early 1900s. How and why is unknown. It is a wreck with many names, I called it the Lobster Palace, because of the abundance of large lobsters caught while diving on this wreck. Even if you did not catch a lobster you could see lobsters up to 20 lbs lurking between the timbers of the wreck. You will see a large quantity of coble stones which were used as ballast. It is said the stone ballast were removed from the sailing vessels and then used to pave the streets of New York City. With a 15 foot relief, low lying and scattered over a large area you can find some beautiful old Madison bottles among the wreckage. George one of the mates recovered a miners lamp in perfect condition. She is 15 miles South of the Rockaway Inlet in 80 foot of water. (A,L,F,)

Dear Friends of the Jeanne II:
On Saturday Oct. 22 at 6:00 am we will dive the USN Algol
A 470 foot USN Attack Transport Built by Moore Dry Dock Co. of Oakland California on February 1943 and named James Baines. On December 1943 was transferred to the Navy and Commissioned AKA 54 USN Algol.Specifications: 470 foot long, with a 63 foot beam and displaced 6,830 tons with a speed of 16.5 knots. Built as an attack cargo vessel, the Algol was designed to assist in amphibious invasion by carrying tanks, trucks and artillery to the troops assaulting beachheads. She also carried 24 landing crafts which were used to ferry troops assaulting beachheads and evacuating wounded from the invasion area. She was manned by 44 officers, 30 petty officers and 350 enlisted men. In November 1947 she was inactivated, but returned to active services February 1948. On August 1950 the Algol transported reinforcements for the invasion of Inchon Korea, serving the Pacific Fleet and the US Marines Corps till 1958 when she was decommissioned. During her service the USS Algol had received not only two World War II battle stars but five Korean battle stars. On November 21, 1991 at about 12:30 PM she was scattered with explosives. The Algol Started to sink to 130 foot of water where it is presently located. She is up right with a 50 foot relief, so you can dive the wreck in less than 80 foot of water. The USN Algol is 32 Miles South of Rockaway Inlet. Noted for abundance of marine life along with mussels, fish, lobster and artifacts
On Sunday Oct. 23 at 6:00am we will dive the Asfalto
The Asfalto is a 300 foot long, with a 40 foot beam, steel hull sailing vessel which was converted to a garbage barge, She sank in the early 1900, how and why is unknown. Though it has many names given it by several captains, when I first dove it in 1973 I named it the Cindy, after a nurse on board who found a gold snuff box while diving there. Since those days many prized lobsters, bottles and artifacts have been recovered. The name Asfalto was researched by Captain Dan Berg of Wreck Valley.(AquaExplorers.com) I personally retrieved an 18 Lb. lobster off this Wreck. The wreck rests 18 miles SE of the Rockaway inlet in 90 feet of water with a 15 foot relief. Though low lying and scattered over a large area the location the wreck lays is the same area known to be a dump sight for the garbage of New York City in the late 1800 and early 1900. This is the reason there are such abundance of old bottles at this dive site. Come join us and add several prize bottles to your collection and maybe a lobster or two

Sunday October 16, 2011: We will dive Lizzie D. we will leave at 6:00am
The Lizzie D, also known as the Rum Runner, was a tug boat, 84 foot long and 23 foot wide with a 15 foot relief. She was sunk in 1922 and lies in 80 foot of water. Her cargo was Bourbon, Scotch and Whiskey. In 1922 the owner’s casualty report, filed with the Dept. of Commerce’s Bureau of navigation stated: the 84 foot tug was on a “cruise of the narrows,” carrying no cargo, but with eight crew members on board when she went down. The Lizzie D was reported sunk due to unknown reasons. All of the crew was lost. In the mid 1970’s I started diving the Rum Runner leaving the dock at 5 am and doing one dive so as not to be cough by other boats and specially other dive boats. We recovered a large amount of bottles, some filled. They were exploding on deck, so Dr. Al Pomina introduced a big hypo needle through the cork to relieve the pressure from the bottles and avoid the explosions. I had a friend in the PD lab who tested our recovery and the Bourbon bottles with foil seals over the corks came up good, so on te way home on several occasions the passengers were treated to then 55 year old Bourbon. I also gave several full bottles to some of the old captains in Sheepshead Bay and they thought it was great. There are fish, lobsters, mussels and still bottles “if you dig” .The wreck lies 14 miles ESE of the Rockaway inlet. In 2006 we were still recovering bottles.
