Troop Carrier

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.

Specs:
Landing Craft?
Sunk:
during World War II ?
Depth:
20 ft

This wreck is described only as a "Troop Carrier" from World War II. Given its location, I would guess that what is meant by this is most likely a landing craft; probably lost in an accident during an amphibious training exercise by the Army.
