Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.
And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

broken propeller shaft - no casualties
Depth:
135 ft
Lady Gertrude had not long ago joined the Point Pleasant fishing fleet, from Massachusetts.The final position report of the Lady Gertrude, within an hour of sinking.
The boat was running offshore towards scallop grounds near the Chicken Canyon, the deepest part of the Mud Hole, when the prop shaft broke. This caused the boat to flood, and about three hours later it capsized and sank. The crew abandoned ship and was picked up by another fishing vessel. As of fall 2017, the wreck was completely over on its port side, with the deck almost vertical.
