If it turns out it’s laying on its side that’s a colossal frickup.
got a reel on my feed explaining as much this morning. That reel said two fuel tanks in the belly of the vessel were supposed to be drained and cleaned. They were not.
So does that mean they were still full of fuel? If so how much? Cause thats going to make me LOL if they sunk the ship and left a bunch of old diesel in the fuel tanks.

There’s zero chance that’s accurate

That vessel was gone over like the Zapruder film.
There might be ballast water in some hold(s) to augment stability for towing or how it would settle once scuttled but I’d bet that would have been only potable water.

East of the bridge at Navarre?

Yea thats a super shitty scan but if she did settle upright that is fricking awesome.
Bonus would be that she sank bow markings last and still settled upright. The last images of her going under are awesome.
Gonna be a fricking sweet arse snapper hole

This may be a stupid question, but are people allowed to fish on these spots? Diving only? Or first come first serve?

Commercial fisherman gonna clean it out before you get a chance to get out there.

Yea, I know.
Commercial fishing for game fish shouldn't be legal, at all. I hate the fishing industry.

I would imagine it’s going to be diving only right above the wreckage

Pensacola News Journal reporting it landed upright. Supposedly confirmed with a remote operated vehicle. They won’t be able to dive on it til tomorrow due to rough seas.

Or they might have done exactly what they planned to do all along.
Who knows if they constructed passageways inside the ship to make sure that all trapped air channeled upwards through the central main deck to bring it upright as soon as it was fully underwater?

It only had to go 180 feet so that was a quick upright turn if it did

The bottom is rounded off so it’s also very possible it turned back when it hit the bottom. Who knows honestly. It would have been cool to have some underwater cameras.
They had probably $50 mil of boats if not more out there yesterday, that Destin Fire boat is like $1.5 mil and 52 ft long. Seems hard to believe not a single sport fisher or 50+ ft boat could launch a diver into the water today….

It’s now confirmed that she is resting upright
That’s great news

and not sink the fricking thing at night! You'd have needed some lights on the bottom to see anything considering it finally wnet under in the pitch black of night. .

All these big public wrecks are overfished, generally speaking, by spearfisherman or the general public. Mostly triggerfish hell, undersized fish especially Aj’s, and bait. Occasional cobia and what not swimming through. But the spearo’s and googans keep them fairly clean. I doubt commercial guys ever mess with them.
