Here is a link to a video of the sunken Thing.
Looks like a 1974 right hand drive. See any usable parts ?
I guess its a ritual for divers to get pictures taken sitting in the drivers seat.

This interested me since I am a long time diver myself. I'm not so sure it went down with the ship though. I did a little research and can't find a clear answer as to when the ship went down....depends who you want to believe on the net. The first thing I read said the ship went down in 1963. The next article said 1942, "USAT Liberty was a United States Army cargo ship torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-166 in January 1942 and beached on the island of Bali. She had been built as a Design 1037 ship for the United States Shipping Board in World War I and had served in the United States Navy in that war as animal transport USS Liberty (ID-3461). She was also notable as the first ship constructed at Federal Shipbuilding, Kearny, New Jersey. In 1963 a volcanic eruption moved the ship off the beach, and Liberty 's wreck is now a popular dive site." |
