The above is a short and ad - encrusted article about sunken wrecks in Lake Union, Seattle. May be of interest to a very few.

I recall when fellow PSARA member John Nelson and i went down to a marine shipbuilding company at north end Lake Union, near where the park is now, around 1981. This company modified ex - Navy ships to be tenders and catch haulers for the Alaska fishing trade. The lead about stacks of TCS radios was no longer true but there were stacks of RAK, RAL, RBM, RBS receivers. One RBM receiver we got with its AC supply still worked perfectly after not having been used since the WW2 era. I'm sure the other folks in cabins around Big Lake near Marysville loved WWV booming out over the lake when we exercised the receiver.
I'm also recalling now one time in the early 1980s when PSARA member Greg Schilling and i were at  Paine Field near Everett WA and saw a WW2 F6F fighter being restored after being pulled up from Lake Washington. It looked a bit beat up, at least the cockpit did, but nothing like if it had been submerged in salt water.
