Video of 78' Scamp

I think most of the divers online here touch very little if anything when they find whole wrecks. Bottle and relic collection is one thing, but these guys appear to be "leave it as is" when they find historic wrecks. Am I wrong?

I would never disturb a wreck I find the history very interesting and being able to see it with my own eyes is amazing.

diver 1111 thank you for the info we set anchor 10' off the skamps port midship

We did manage to find 2 dive masks , 2 snorkals 1 Dive fin (green) and a swim ladder someone forgot to pull up not far from the wrecks.

Diver1111, have you ever heard of the Flying Yankee? It was also a boat belonging to Jack Irwin. Do you know if it's still on the lake, or like the Scamp, on the bottom of the lake?

Thanks Hans! I didn't dive it last year but looking forward to it this year! I went to the Northshore Frogmen meeting last night and handed out my charter pamphlets. Several members said to say hi to you! Were you a former member I take it or still currently? I'm thinking of joining also as I have been a longtime member of the New England Aquarium dive club but just recently left after 20+ years. Hope we get a chance to meet this coming year! Jim

I've been a Froggie for maybe 8 years or so. Great people.

As to the Flying Yankee I will contact Jack and ask.

SunsetPointWentworth · 02-18-2013, 09:13 PM

The Flying Yankee was owned by Jim Irwin. Not Jack. I'm guessing Jim was Jack's father?

Diver, the reason I was wondering is because I saw a picture of it in a book. The book is Boats and Ports of Lake Winnipesaukee, Volume 2 By Bruce D. Heald. This link should have the picture http://books.google.com/books?id=G9F...yankee&f=false

Sorry link loaded but page blank. Something about "too many page views"-don't understand that.

Interesting link...

It works. You must have scrolled down before it had time to download the photo's. It's page 59 that it should open to, but all the books photos up to page 59, have to open first. I have comcast and it takes me a full 30 seconds for it to pop up. At the bottom of the page it does tell you that message about having viewed too many pages or something.
