      +EnduranceSwimmer Thanks. Appreciated Darrell. Yes, my first contact with this project extends back to 1980, as a boy. I was on the vessel that collected the Anchor stock from KI. I captured and posted footage in 2011 with my first video camera. 2015 revisit allowed me to use the technology I now have. It is quite a meaningful wreck to me. Thanks Again.

      Hi Helen. Thank you for sharing your story and relationship. I am pleased that the video assists. I think it is important to highlight the significance of shipping and lives lost. Have you come across a Helen Kohler? Helen’s family were meant to make a trip, and had furniture on board. Possibly had a relationship to the captain. this link is my 2011 video, more crude however might be of interest if you have not seen. All the best, and thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dg_Tp1CvmU&t=6s
