[StartQuote] I think what and where you think are the remains (not to say there could not be a piece or two?) of PT-59 is just the remains of the inner wharf. Those are all wharf timbers and pilings not boat timbers. In one of the videos mentioned in the post here a guy is walking on them (brave) and nothing resembles a boat among them.Certainly not an Elco boat timber I did have 761 for a few years. I think over the 10 to 12 years since I have been contacted about her (59) time, silt, currents, hurricane Sandy and the fact that a barge could have scooped her up in a couple swoops she is gone. Last night looking at Google Earth there is nothing in the mud where she would have been moored that would indicate the remains of a hull. I even looked hard across the river on the other bank and all I can see it collapsed wharf. As I said to Ted in an e-mail the only way to verify/satisfy would be to walk around down there for an hour or so at low tide. 4 plus hour drive for me but I am always up for this kind of thing. Maybe someday! You never know what is out there that may have been missed over all these years. If any of you are on Facebook please friend me I can add you to my little PT and Crash boat page I created there. Jimbo[EndQuote]
