Little Hope of Recovering Sea Prince
Although it is believed that the hull
of the sunk tug Sea Prince has been
located little hope Is entertained of
getting the derelict to the surface.
The object located, which may be the
Sea Prince but which is just as likely
to be an anchor or some other wreck
age, lies in 26 fathoms of water
Even in still water a diver can not
work at such depth, and where the
supposed wreck lies the water is never
still. An effort may be made to raise
the object located, but If it is the Sea
Prince the owners do not believe the
attempt will be successful.
