HISTORY
Launched: October 31, 1910, by the Bethlehem Steel Company of Sparrows Point, Maryland, as a dredge and ordered by the Ellicott Machine Corporation
November 14, 1994: sank in the Cooper River near Charleston, South Carolina, and subsequently leaked a significant amount of diesel fuel into the river.
After salvage operations to prevent the further release of fuel, the dredge was raised, cleaned, and towed to Florida by Associated Marine Salvage, Incorporated of Miami.
Name History:
DeWitt Clinton was a nearly American politician who served in the United States Senate and was the sixth Governor of New York. During his tenure as governor, he was largely responsible for the construction of the Erie Canal.
This accomplishment, as well as his contributions during his earlier work with the Erie Canal Commission, helps explain the naming of the dredge DeWitt Clinton.
Divesite:
The wreck has a double hull design, similar to a catamaran, but with squared‐offends possessing two big rings near the top and bottom that could host anchor pilings when in service. The interior of each hull pontoon has long, silty corridors that require care when exploring. The wheelhouse is large and has some interesting growth on it, making for an entertaining swim-through.

Excellent work as always Alejandro. It's greatly appreciated that you provide some history on the wrecks you are documenting. Every vessel has a story, even the ones that spent their lives quietly working as relative unknowns. Having the opportunity to dive those that ended up as reefs rather than in the scrapyard is even more enjoyable when we can think of their histories as we are doing so.

Scott! Thanks for your words! the new format arrived and will be the standard moving forward. Feedback like yours encourages me to keep on putting the edition time on them! For this year, although I haven't released any new material in the past month, there will be plenty of videos with better frequency. See you in some of our SoFla boats soon! 😀😀😀

[@agustinghezzi6823]

Muy bueno Alejandro, la visibilidad espectacular, lo cual te permitio, a mi entender, hacer una toma hermosa, que es la de la torre de la draga desde abajo.... FANTASTICA!!!!. Noté más vida qie en el video anterior y muy poca corriente pareciera que tuvieron. Asinque debe haber estado espectacular. Muy lindo.... lo anoto al punto para ir

[@InternationalScubaDiversClub]

anótelo para el Wreckathon!!! 😀El dia que lo filmamos estaba horrible en superficie pero abajo espectacular, casi sin corriente y buena visibilidad, solo un poco oscuro. Respecto de la vida, en este caso por toparnos con esos Meros Goliath estuvo distinto, lo malo.... muchiiiisimo Pez Leon.

[@agustinghezzi6823]

@@InternationalScubaDiversClub se ven los peces León, en varias tomas..... y es cierto que se nota oscuro por lo nublado que está. Al principio del video se ve un poco el cielo.
ANOTADO!!!!
