Dear Friends of the Jeanne II:

Happy 2012 Dive Season.  I would like to start by wishing everyone a Happy Easter and Passover from the Captain and Crew of the Jeanne II.

The 2012 dive season is off to an exciting start.

April 14th 2012 at 6:00 am will be our first dive heading out to the Stolt Dagali:

It is a 583 foot, 19,150 ton Norwegian Tanker built in 1955 in Denmark by Burmeister and Wain shipbuilders. Today a 140 foot piece of the Stolt Dagali’s stern rests on its starboard side 32 Miles SSE out of the Rockaway Inlet. Her remains lie in 130 foot of water, but rises to within 65 feet of the surface you can find all types of aquatic life here.  For more information click on the following link. http://www.jeanne-ii.com/wreckid.html

On April 15th we will head out to the Black Warrior setting sail at 6:00am.

The Black warrior was built 1852 in New York for the New York and New Orleans Steam Ship Co. The wood ship was 225 feet in length with a 37 foot beam and flanked by two steam driven side wheels. The Black Warrior is 3 miles east of the Rockaway Inlet in 35 foot of water with a relief of 10 feet. Among the treasures recovered from this wreck were portholes, silverware with the vessels name engraved, brass nails and spikes. Black fish and lobster are also seen. The Jeanne II was used to tape a diving episode for Fox’s Good morning America with Larry Hoff using the Black Warrior as a diving background. Also CBS News and many more did the same thing.  For more information on the Black Warrior click on the following link.  http://www.jeanne-ii.com/wreckid.html

Saturday October 29, 2011: we will dive the wreck of the G&D (Yankee)

A 296 foot long and 40 wide steel hulled Great Lakes Steamer. She was built by Globe Iron Works in December of 1890. She displaced 2,418 Gross tons. She was originally named German then changed to Yankee and she sailed under the flag of the United States Steel Corp. The company’s entire fleet sailed exclusively on the Great Lakes. It seams that during WWI she was cut in half, brought out of the Great Lakes then reconstructed and transferred to the East Coast for the coal trade. In June 19, 1919 while in route from Norfolk, Virginia to Boston, Massachusetts carrying a cargo of coal, the Yankee entered a dense fog. Soon after she collided with the Italian Liner Argentina. The Argentina struck and sheared off the Yankee stern, The Argentina’s propeller ripped through her hull, causing a fatal wound. Captain John Lachenmayer, an EDBA member, found the artifacts on the wreck known as the G & D which identified it as the true Yankee. She lies 32 miles SE of the Rockaway Inlet in 110 foot of water and has a 15 foot relief. This wreck is known for big lobsters, fish and scallops.(A,L,F,)

On Sunday Oct. 30 we  will dive the wreck of the Bald Eagle

A Wood 200 foot Sailing Vessel sunk in the early 1900s. How and why is unknown. It is a wreck with many names, I called it the Lobster Palace, because of the abundance of large lobsters caught while diving on this wreck. Even if you did not catch a lobster you could see lobsters up to 20 lbs lurking between the timbers of the wreck. You will see a large quantity of coble stones which were used as ballast. It is said the stone ballast were removed from the sailing vessels and then used to pave the streets of New York City. With a 15 foot relief, low lying and scattered over a large area you can find some beautiful old Madison bottles among the wreckage. George one of the mates recovered a miners lamp in perfect condition. She is 15 miles South of the Rockaway Inlet in 80 foot of water. (A,L,F,)

Safe Diving,
