Offshore Wrecks

Great.

After I dredge up an old Loran chart, plot the thing, and cross check the lat lon because the Loran chart doesn't have great wreck info, I come here to post my accomplishment, and probably advertise that I'm a bit of a hoarder and what do I find?

You couldn't even give it a day, could you.

On the plus side, NOAA has a converter, which I know isn't that precise, but now I can convert the old man's notebooks a little more easily.

Speaking of the old LORAN C charts, remember this, the old Carmark Sportfishing chart?

This was our go-to back in the day.

Matty I still stare endlessly at that chart!

LOL, I do the same thing. I love studying all the contours, and developing a plan.

In this photo on the right you will see the “regular size” chart, and to the left a much larger one. I had our art department at Conair blow it up, and laminate it. It has both sides, both inshore and offshore. I kept one, and gave one to Larry to use for his seminars. It has been rolled up for quite a while and was difficult to straighten out to lay flat.

There's some decent paper charts that we used to use for actual navigation in tubes somewhere in the garage, but this is what I was able to grab.

You can tell by the dust it's been stuck to the wall for a long time. Another thing, now a relic that was a near miracle in its time.

And let’s not forget about TD’s for Hudson Canyon……….

This is some really cool stuff. Never had a chance to fish any of this.

Captain Seagull is still around. In addition to having some of their older charts for the Long Island area, I have some of their charts for down here in the Gulf of Mexico. I like to study them in the comfort of my easy chair, making a plan for the next day’s fishing.
