This is a Monster

October 17, 2020

Finished stubbing-in all the artificial reef pages, and integrating the dive sites and artificial reefs sections. It actually works better than the old hand-made site. Lots of nice automatic menus everywhere. Over 600 pages, and a lot more to go.

Still finding and fixing bugs, but the basic architecture is sound. I think the best plan is to put in blank pages for everything and get the 'tree' right. Then I can fill in the content, or 'leaves'.

The built-in search works really well; the outboard search in the old site has become balky.

Gargle is already showing interest, even though I am currently discouraging them.

Harry Rush

Type:: shipwreck, sailing ship
Specs:: 965 tons
Sunk:: Wednesday February 17, 1943
possibly collision with barge F.F. Clain
Depth:: 80 ft

The Harry Rush is described as a freighter by Krotee, not always the most reliable source. The wreck commonly known as the Harry Rush is a sailing ship. The wreck is the typical three parallel wooden walls, very low-lying, with some steam machinery and chain pile at the west end. The orientation of the wreck is unusual, as if it sank while running for the shore, rather than riding out a storm. The absence of towing bits makes it likely this was a true sailing ship rather than a schooner barge.
