Did Andrea Doria lifeboat #13 really stay afloat for 15 years in open ocean?
Anyone know any additional info or pics? are these boats lined with something to keep them buoyant? I would think a storm would total fill this up especially over a decade in open ocean. where is it now? and are there pictures of its current conditio?

Just as a heads up, there’s a survey of the light cruiser Nagara being carried out later this month
Sunk by the now-preserved USS Croaker in August 1944 after an active career, Nagara’s wreck has been documented once in 1981 but this new survey is being done by the Japan Karst & Underwater Exploration Project (which also surveyed the Russo-Japanese War transport Hitachi Maru) and is the first in-depth exploration of the cruiser. The expedition will consist of a 3 man dive team and is slated for between 20-22 July, so keep your eyes peeled

What maritime disasters aside from the Titanic do you think had the greatest impact on maritime safety? Here are my five picks:
From left to right:
- SS Eastland (1915)
- SS Morro Castle (1934)
- SS Edmund Fitzgerald (1975)
- SS Marine Electric (1983)
- MS Herald of Free Enterprise (1987)
The RMS Titanic disaster is arguably the single most influential and impactful maritime disaster in history which is why I specifically excluded it.

What is the biggest wreck in the Chesapeake Bay?
I’m curious what the largest wreck in the bay is either by casualties or size? As far as I know Marine Electric is biggest by size and the USS Tulip for casualties, any I’ve missed?

What ship was sunk and raised the largest number of times?
As far as I am aware, the record goes to U-1105, which was sunk six times and raised five. I'm wondering if there is one that beats that. I haven't been able to find much on the topic, and I only happened to read about U-1105 because I vacation near its current resting spot so I wouldn't be suppressed if there was one with a higher number.

This Baby right here *Smacks mast* BOOM
SS Richard Montegomery was a liberty ship built during WW2. In 1944 she dragged anchor and ran aground in the Thames estuary. when low tide came, the ship broke her back and she was abandoned. Only problem was she was carrying about 1400 tons of Unexploded ordinance.
According to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency in 2000, she still contained at least
286 × 2,000 lb (910 kg) high explosive bombs
4,439 × 1,000 lb (450 kg) bombs of various types
1,925 × 500 lb (230 kg) bombs
521-580 fragmentation bombs and 2,297 cases of fragmentation bomb clusters
Various explosive booster charges, smoke bombs (including white phosphorus bombs) and pyrotechnic signals.
If this thing gets shifted, it could go boom and cause some no good very bad things to happen.
