i did a dive with Mateo to see these Old boats , they are really cool and Historic when it comes to what they were built for.... Other members of NWDC have also been here with Mateo and seen them... I tried to do some research on them but came up empty ...

Wow interesting, never heard of these, guess I need to get out more :P
How deep are they? Looks darker than I'd expect.

Fun dives. Sheep boats are at 80 and 40 ffw. The car is at 100-120 ffw. Nice Lake Crescent alternative.

The memorial at the dive site on the day 1 video is for a school bus accident in November 1945.

A young soldier, just returned from WWII was driving a school bus full of young children on an icy morning towards Chelan when he lost control and went over the edge. The accident killed nearly every child in that area, the only survivor was a a boy who stayed home from school that day for an illness.
I come here each summer and ride my bike along this road. I always stop for a moment at the memorial and remember the children.

I believe a few survived the accident. I think 6 people got out.
