A visit to Ft. Pickens, just south of Pensacola on Santa Rosa Island, Florida. June, 2009. The fort was completed in 1834 and remained in use until 1947.
In January of 1997, two sport divers and I located the brass compass binnacle of the SS Catherine, a Norwegian barque which sank just off Pensacola Beach during a storm on August 7, 1894. Here we are assisting in its salvage.
