Summary
A NOAA-led team spotted the previously unknown car (pictured above) during a recent dive to the wreck, which hadn’t been known to be carrying a vehicle. According to the release, a NOAA-led team conducted remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives to the wreck on April 19 and 20. According to NOAA Ocean Exploration, the car is thought to be a 1940-41 Ford Super Deluxe “Woody” with black trim. Part of the vehicle’s front license plate reads “SHIP SERVICE,” but the rest has corroded away. “Here’s an open request to all your automobile vehicle folks out there,” a NOAA researcher said during a livefeed, according to the Herald.
