How Deep Can We Go?

Two other stories I came across of interest:

1. This June 23-24 will mark the 75th anniversary of the opening of the LINCOLN CAVERNS in Pennsylvania. They were discovered during the construction of US Highway 22 and purchased by Myron Dunlavy in 1932 and been in his family ever since.

In honor of the event, tickets this weekend will be reduced 75%, to $2.65. The caverns are located about three miles west of Huntington, PA, and on, of course, US-22.


2. 157 YEAR OLD SHIPWRECK FOUND- The remains of the steamship General Anthony Wayne, named after the Revolutionary War hero, have been discovered in Lake Erie, about 8 miles north of Vermillion under 50 feet of water.

It was discovered by amateur shipwreck prospector Thomas Kowalczk, using sonar.

The Wayne sank when its boilers exploded enroute from somewhere near Toledo to Buffalo. Thirty-eight of the ninety-three passengers and crew died.

The wreck belongs to the state of Ohio and salvaging is illegal. But divers can visit after it is surveyed.
