The shots depicting the sinking of the 'Seal' were scans of both slides and point and shoot prints and aren't brilliant but they are there to tell the story.
The hull was effectively given to the Scuba Club to get rid of as it had been abandoned near the slipyards in the Mersey river.
After much preparation, rheems of red tape and an insurance policy ($900) in case it sank before we got it out of the river, the ship was towed about 5km to sea off Don heads and sunk.
After one month Members of the Club including myself, dived it and found that quite a large population of Red Cod had taken up residence around and in the wreck. Unfortunately a considerable amount of damage to the structure occurred when the hull hit the bottom It was pretty obvious that is was not going to retain the shape of a ship for long.
