Sinking of the Oriskany 17-May-2006
The Oriskany, a decommissioned aircraft carrier, was sunk 24 miles off the coast of Pensacola, Fla., on May 17 to form an artificial reef.
The sinking of the 888-foot ship took 37 minutes

The SMALL BOAT on the deck of carrier contains a generator and electronics to set off the explosions. It was designed so this small boat would float free after the carrier sunk!

Due to the tremendous number of access's to this Web Page, I've had to lower the resolution of the pictures of the sinking of the Oriskany. I've had over 450,000 page hits [ at several megabytes of data transfer per hit ] in the first three days the page was up. This has been very expensive in bandwidth charges to me.

I've also had several requests for prints of the photos. I will make these available in 8 1/2" x 11" and or 5 x 7.
