    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 Brielle, New Jersey, is the place where the boat captains and fishermen live. It is also the place where the hangers-on and wannabes and also-rans keep believing in the sea.

    #2 Nagle’s area of expertise was the New York and New Jersey shipping lanes, which saw a lot of traffic in the 1970s and 1980s. The wrecks there rarely yielded treasure, but they often yielded stories that fascinated Nagle.

    #3 Deep-wreck divers, like Nagle, had to brave the unknown depths of the ocean floor. They had to discover all of their discoveries by themselves, without any maps or directions.

    #4 The Andrea Doria was the Mount Everest of shipwrecks. It was not a typical target for Nagle, since her location was widely known and she had been explored by divers since the day after her sinking. But the Doria made siren calls to great wreck divers.

      #1

      Brielle, New Jersey, is the place where the boat captains and fishermen live. It is also the place where the hangers-on and wannabes and also-rans keep believing in the sea.

      #2

      Nagle’s area of expertise was the New York and New Jersey shipping lanes, which saw a lot of traffic in the 1970s and 1980s. The wrecks there rarely yielded treasure, but they often yielded stories that fascinated Nagle.

      #3

      Deep-wreck divers, like Nagle, had to brave the unknown depths of the ocean floor. They had to discover all of their discoveries by themselves, without any maps or directions.

      #4

      The Andrea Doria was the Mount Everest of shipwrecks. It was not a typical target for Nagle, since her location was widely known and she had been explored by divers since the day after her sinking. But the Doria made siren calls to great wreck divers.

      #5

      The Doria’s real challenge was exploration. The ship was so deep, dark, and dangerous that entire decks remained unexplored. Nagle went to work, and after several days of searching, he found the ship’s bell.

      #6

      Nagle had envisioned his business as an endless series of trips to deep and dangerous wrecks like the Doria or the Choapa, but his clients desired only the nearby sites, wrecks like the Stolt Dagali, SS Mohawk, and the Tolten.

      #7

      Nagle’s drinking worsened. He began to lose customers. By 1990, he had made his last Doria dive. He continued to lose customers. Every day, he would tell the few remaining people he respected about how right things were in the old days, when diving was great.

      #8

      The Horrible Inn was a bar in Brielle, New Jersey, that was run by Nagle. It was a place where fishermen, boat captains, and other local toughs could go to get drunk and fight. It was a constant stream of bikers, fishermen, and street toughs.

      #9

      The author went fishing with Skeets, and while he was basking in the largesse of the site, he could not stop himself from wondering about the object at its center. It was big, deep, and made of steel. It mattered to him.

      #10

      The next day, Nagle met with Skeets to swap the numbers. Nagle wrote down his numbers for Skeets, a little blackfish snag south of Seaside lump, just a pile of rocks that made for good fishing. Then Skeets began to copy his Loran-C time
