For those of you not familiar with the Rosinco, she is an ~95ft luxury yacht that sank in the late 1920's on her way from Milwaukee to Chicago. Owned at the time by the Commodore of the Chicago Yacht Club, she was an outstanding example of Roaring 20's excess.
Today she sits in ~190ft of water, upright on her keel and remarkably well preserved. I want to see her before the end of the year and have booked a charter to get me there. We'll be meeting at the Waukegan dock at 6:30 in the morning on Sunday, 15 October 2006 for a single dive. Cost will be $85.00.
Seats are available - if you're trimix qualified and want to come along (or have any questions) PM me or give me a call at the shop at 708/389-9410.
