Grant and I dove this wreck on June 13, 2010. We noticed a metal boat license plate on the transom. It was difficult to read and we thought it was from 1957 or 1967.

With Diver1111's permission, I dove the wreck again today with 2 other dive buddies and removed the license plate. Attached are 2 pictures. Before cleaning and after cleaning. Clearly it's a 1967 plate.

I also called NH Marine Patrol and gave them the license plate number. I asked if they could search their old records and provide some information, like the owner's name, make of the boat, etc. Captain Mark Gallagher informed me that information from 43 years ago might not be available. Also, because this is a non-police request for information, the best he could do was inform the owner that I was interested in the history of the boat and how/why it sank. I provided my cell phone number and will wait patiently for a call.

I'm used to boat license plates being all numeric. Because this one begins with "Z", could it be a dealer's plate?
