That is the last one, right? Did some dives with a guy who's mission it was to bring one home.....and after many dives he finally did it.
This was years ago....maybe 7 to 10 years ago.
The Sea Girt wreck is on my all-time favorite dives list but it's been awhile. What kind of shape is it in? I know that dredgers were always banging into it. The chain pile used to stand up very high off of the bottom and an excellent spear fishing location.

Hi Mo,
I was on the boat yesterday. The chain pile is now a chain "field," spread out into two large masses, not as high as you're used to seeing. There's a boiler in between the two piles that I don't ever recall seeing before, but that could be my inexperience.
The chain is still full of fish, although a few came home with me last night and one of the mates also liberated a few. I saw one tog, maybe 15", and lots of sea bass although nothing notably large.
I think 2 bugs came up. This one poor mommy right by the tie in must have been wrestled out of her hole several times, but I think I was the last and she still had two claws, so kudos to the crew of the Gypsy Blood for their respect of motherhood.
