Seeker 2000 SSCarolina V

The SS Carolina was a 380 foot long passenger liner sunk in WWI by the U-151 on "Black Sunday", June 2, 1918, along with five other ships, including the freighter Texel and collier Winneconne. The wreck was discovered and dived in 1995 after extensive research by John Chatterton and John Yurga. The Carolina lies in 250 feet of water approximately 65 miles east of Atlantic City, New Jersey.

The following pictures (all images from video) are from the voyage of the Seeker to the SS Carolina, Sunday, June 25, 2000 (continued from page IV).

	All of the recovered items are soaked in fresh water. All of the safe's discarded contents and muck are soaked in a separate bucket, to be inspected again later so we don't miss anything.
A large amount of .45 caliber bullets are pulled from the safe. There was no gun, however.
