53 Torrent Shipwreck, Boating, Scuba Cat

www.TheBoaters.TV EP 53 – First up: It was reported last Monday that a private dive team discovered the wreckage of an American ship that sank 139 years ago off the mainland of south-central Alaska.
In 1868, the "Torrent," a 641-ton three-masted sailing bark, sank in Alaska's Cook Inlet after tidal currents rammed it into a reef.
The vessel wreckage was actually first discovered back in July after a nearly two-year long search by a four-man dive team led by Steve Lloyd, a shipwreck historian and veteran of a half-dozen other shipwreck expeditions in Alaska.
