ST reports locating an isolated piling A74 section of iron pipe and jumble of timers and rocks A75.
1015 ST out of the water.
1023 AK into the water to look at features found during ST’s dive. The isolated piling is exactly that (A74). It is likely a piling from
one of the adjacent dolphins that has torn loose and is now standing out of the bottom at a 45 degree angle. The piling has a
diameter of approximately 12” and stands 12” above the bottom. A75 was determined to be a pile of rocks. The pile was
one layer deep. It could be probed through in nearly all places. The stones were limestone. The pipe was examined. It was
an isolated cast iron pipe, 12” in diameter approximately 10’ long. It was located 50’ immediately in shore of A75. It was not
given a number designation due to the isolated nature of the find.
1057 AK out of the water so that the boat can move over to the shallow water survey area south of the inner harbor channel.
