My island is loosely patterned after Loggerhead Key and the shipwreck to the southwest (24 degrees 37'24.7"N x 82 degrees 56' 32.6"W). Suzanne and I dove on it about 20 years ago. I believe it sank in 1903, but it was a square-rigger, and still looked very much the part. It must have had steel standing rigging, because you could still see bits snaking across the bottom. It was all too easy to imagine the shock of what it must have been like that night.
Certainly gives the whole diorama a certain added piquancy Dobbs, especially since you both experienced it at first hand.
I do love the effect.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

I will certainly check it out.
Please check out my edited message Dobbs. It should now make sense. ****** predictive text indeed. Just because it can't handle English properly. frequency/ piquancy indeed!
