Sunken USCGC Mohawk To Get Underwater Photo Gallery

Past Warship Wednesday subject Mohawk  will be getting a diver-viewable photo gallery installed.

In May, Austrian photographer Andreas Franke plans to hang a series of photographs on Mohawk Veterans Memorial Reef, thus creating a temporary art exhibit only accessible to divers. Helping on the project will be the Lee County Division of Marine Sciences and Joe Weatherby, founder of Reefmakers LLC, a Key West-based company that specializes in sinking ships as artificial reefs.

On July 2, 2012, county scientists and Reefmakers scuttled the 165-foot World War II Coast Guard cutter Mohawk 30 miles off Redfish Pass.”

The News Press also has a great interactive graphic of the Mohawk herself.
