Navy Minesweeper Located in Lake Washington
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:22 pm
This past weekend JaWS and Innerspace Exploration located and captured sonar imagery of a previously undocumented Navy Minesweeper in Lake Washington.
Though a lot of folks are familiar with the YMS-359 that sits at the bottom of the lake, this is actually the 3rd YMS to be found out there – and by all accounts it looks like this ‘new’ one is in the best condition of the bunch. Engines, some equipment and the guns have been removed, but otherwise it appears to be intact.
