Seeker 2000 Sebastian II

The Sebastian is a British tanker which sank in 1918 due to a fire in the ship's stern. It lies 250 feet under the North Atlantic, 100 miles off Montauk, New York, and just 8 miles from the Andrea Doria. Although the hull is mostly intact, most of the wooden superstructure has collapsed, with a large debris field in the middle covered with nets, but containing many very interesting artifacts. The Sebastian is unique because it is an early oil tanker which also had sails.

The following pictures (all images from video) are from the voyage of the Seeker to the Sebastian, Saturday and Sunday, July 1 - 2, 2000 (continued from page I).

A prime spot for searching for artifacts.

Many of the nets are very old, and are covered with anemones and other marine growth.

Bill Cleary and Joe Ferrali do their decompression. Bill's new doubles are made from enriched uranium, that's why they are glowing.
	Gene Holmes and Joe Mazraani retrieved this beautiful porthole on our first day on the Sebastian.
