Geestemunde 39 20' 48.41" 074 26' 58.54"
Has anyone ever dove on this wreck? I found photos framed in an old newspaper at my work so I snapped a couple of photos of it. I guess its somewhere off the coast of New York or New Jersey.
Looks like it foundered in shallow water judging from the hand drawn image.
