Diving the wreck of the Norwegian tanker HAMLET, sunk off Louisiana by U-753 in 1942.

Footage of the Norwegian motor tanker HAMLET, sunk by U-753 in May 1942. The wreck rests in 140 feet of water 60+ miles off Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. Visibility in this area of the Gulf is fickle, and one typically finds a murk layer 20-40 feet off the mud bottom. Water above this can be spectacularly blue, but depends on fresh water runoff from the coast of Louisiana, as well as other oceanographic factors. The murk layer varies in depth during the course of the day, and sometimes only the highest portions of a wreck reach up from the gloom. As these wrecks continue to deteriorate and collapse, the entire wreck will be cloaked in turbid water and muddy sediment.

Awesome video as always, Mike. That’s a wild looking charter boat! Got any more pics or contact info of that outfit?

[@aocfishman00]

It's a private vessel. But I agree, it's "UNREEL"...it deserves it's own TV show!
