I've been following this on a boating website. It's been raised already.

We dove the Eagle on the 31st and it was all ready gone. The Coast Guard had it blocked off on the 30th.

Sounds like one of the through-the-hull connections let go and the boat filled up rather quickly.

Please let us know if your boating site or other contacts figures out what happened.

Good luck to all,

See this is an example of doing everything right except for one minor detail. Here is the plan that they should have followed

1: By accident you park your pride and joy on top of a ship wreck
2: Report your boat sunken
3: Get coast guard to protect your site
4: Apply for salvage of your wreck at the position
5: Perform salvage - amazing how easy you can mistake a 200 yrs old wreck with a modern wreck

The only thing they got wrong was the wreck they used as parking space. They should have parked it on the deck of a Galleon

Coast Guard : " Gee, those divers are slow, it's taking them weeks to salvage their 30' boat."
