The mysterious case of an island that 'vanished' in the Gulf of Mexico

The apparently missing island, which had been on maps since 1539 but in 2008 suddenly couldn't be found, possibly cost Mexico millions.

The depth context gets me too.
IF a region/area could be sunken as an adjacent one or more rises due to colliding plates.....Maybe? But to me (bog whoop) it's a big maybe.
Dang that's deep.

A waiting room years ago I pivked up a Nat. Geo. to read and it featured Cuba 's wrecks and the weath of them.
Non Cuban divers (a hobby /passion/nonpirate type folk) were having a challenging time modding repairing and trying to cobble dive equipment.
No they couldn't remove any relics ect. But they were diving...

The government (Castro factored highly as he dove himself... ) kept the general public and non Cuban traffic in check regarding wreck salvage or really interest in wrecks.

Anyways I thought it sucked after reading that ; for the average Cuban when there was so much laying under water. And knowing the government wasn't going to recover it and pass it around. (what one would?)
I didn't know Cuba/Castro opened the door to recoveries , under watch and control ,of course...

When it comes to posting pics, FB is an antiquated dinosaur! I have 82 pics! I started early this morning, ran my errands and came home to the swirly thing still going round and round like rc's compass. I had to start over. Nope wouldn't do it. Finally, I am posting to only me with 5 picks at a time, saving, editing, adding 5 pics, repeat. What a flipping nightmare! Don't even get me started on instagram. I can't even figure that one out!

Ar, ar , arrr! Whar's me rum punch?

Visited African Wildlife Safari in Port Clinton with some friends a couple weekends ago. They have like a mini outside zoo. There also used to be a dinosaur attraction up there that has been closed for several years. Obviously, AWS acquired some of the dinos. Don't worry, I am not posting 82pics. Pics of friends ommitted.
