Going Down On History






Yesterday I visited a WWII era torpedo bomber in 130 feet of water off Anacapa Island. On this dive it was dark but the visibility was still good. The Avenger TBF was lost in 1943.

Bob,
we recently took a lot of photos of this wreck. Do you have any other background information on it? How do you know it went down in 1943?

Best,
Chris Murphy

Actually the correct date is February 22, 1945. More history will be published soon. Are your pictures published and how did you locate the wreck?
