Mark your calendars boys and girls! November 29, The History Channel,
"Deep Sea Detectives". R.A.P.'s own Roger Long will be seen
pontificating ponderously and speculating on the cause of a ship
sinking.

If you would like to put the face together with the rambling posts
that appear in this newsgroup, be sure to tune in. (And not just the
face, the voice, the funny glasses, the lopsided and shifty eyed
scowl.)

There's actually an aviation connection as well. The ship in question
is the one used by Admiral Byrd to transport his Ford Trimotor to the
Antarctic for his famous flights. This bit of aviation history can
still be seen off of Mexico Beach, Florida where she sunk under murky
circumstance while bound for Cuba with a load of lumber in the early
days of WWII. No one is quite sure exactly what was going on but her
crew seemed to be remarkably well paid for itinerant lumber
transporters.
