Re: Chicago, Lake Michigan???

A captain I know just emailed me this:

"Jon,

That's my old back yard. I cut my chops diving on the Morley. Not much left. It's sanded in now just some ribs sticking out of the sand. There is a daily fee to use the beach. Not sure how much it is these days. As to the "PT Boat" off of Main St. (actually Kedzie) There a wreck named the "Carrier" It use to be the club house for one of the yatch clubs down in the city. They wee towing it north when it waterlogged and sank. Not much there unless you have an air lift to clear the sand. I have the number for it somewhere. A better wreck is the Wells Burt about 3 miles off of Kedzie...In about 40 feet of water 3 masted schooner. They did find an old Navy Patroal Boat of of Zion IL. It's pretty shallow the sand covers and uncovers alot."

GPS numbers that I have for the Morley are: LAT:4202.67
LON:8740.14
