Yesterday (Monday) a few old dive buddies and I got together to pay tribute to a friend of ours – “Charlie McGurr”.
Charlie died in 1999 while exploring the wreck of the Andrea Doria.
A tug boat was sunk in Charlie’s memory on the Axel Carlson Reef, 3 miles off Pt. Pleasant, N.J.
We decided to visit the sunken tug to pay tribute to our old friend and place a plaque at the site in his memory.
This dive has been on our "bucket list" for some time. Unfortunatley, over the years our lives have taken us down seperate paths, fortunatley they came together yesterday.
A few video clips from our dive on the “McGurr Tug”.
Thanks for the video. Charlie was a member of our dive club (Ocean Wreck Divers) and was a good friend. I remember the first time he went to the Doria and how much he enjoyed it (thanks to all that made that possible). Hey Mike do you still have the picture from the Virgina Trip . That was a pic that Charlie took. The plaque was a great idea .
