Clermont

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.

Type:
shipwreck, dredge
Sunk:
Saturday January 8, 1927

The Clermont was at one time the world's largest dredge. She was sunk in a storm while under tow on January 8, 1927. Today she sits upright on a sandy bottom, partially intact, rising 15' off the bottom. Some of the dredge pipes are visible in the sand off the starboard side of the wreck. Divers have recovered several interesting objects from the wreck such as deck prisms and bricks from the boiler stamped "Weideimer".

Seasickness

Seasickness is the bane of all scuba divers. Here are a number of preventatives:

Chinese Medicine - pressure points in the wrist that are supposed to relieve the effects of seasickness. I don't believe it.

Dramamine - to be effective, this must be taken the night before, as well as again in the morning. It is not effective on all people, and some actually get worse. There is no harm in doubling the dose if you are very worried.
