Probly early 90's
They did a few articles on the shipwrecks of Boston's dumping grounds. If I remember they rented a side scan sonar and listed a bunch of confirmed wrecks and rockpiles they located.
I'm looking for the 4 or 5 mags featuring the wrecks plus the final article in the series, that lists the loran numbers for what they found.
Some of the wrecks were the Aloha, the Coyote, Pier7 barge. Etc.
Somebody must have them.

I remember that one.. I beleive they even had the cement boat in it..... I believe Tim Coleman wrote it... I know I have it... but finding which box it is in could prove to be a chore..

these would be the ones I'm looking for, particularly Oct 1990 which lists 5 sets of loran #'s

Like rockfish I have to figure out which box they're in. Maybe over the holiday weekend. I'll shoot you a pm if I find them.

My buddy keeps all his old issues.

It may take a while, but I'll give it a shot as well.

Happy TG !!!!

Speaking of wrecks, the ones in RI, is there anywhere that shows gps to them? Also the debris from the old Newport bridge. Anyone know where they dumped that? Pm's welcome if you don't want to say.

Sorry for the hijack Mike.

You can find alot with google. Also Earthnc charts Online Viewer (http://earthnc.com/online-nautical-charts) just click the little shipwreck/fish icon.
I have Tim colemans book fishable wrecks and rockpiles I'll see what it lists for RI. I know there's a few in it.
