Memorial Weekend 1993- Diving and explorations continued
-Found boots and flare
-Found another escape lung
-Found pieces of a coffee pot
Day after Memorial Day 1993- The escape lung exploded in Chatterton's garage. Inside the metal can, the numbers 15.4.44 were stamped. This can be translated to April 15, 1944 which would have been the hydrostatic test date. Therefore it could be assumed that the U-Boat must have sailed after the date.
July 31, 1993 - Bad weather delayed the second trip of the season.
-Found binoculars
-Found pressure gauge and other equipment but all ID tags badly deteriorated.
August/September 1993- 4 more trips made and more artifacts collected but no specific identity made
October 1993- Nagle the first Seeker captain died.
