National Geographic Documentary on L.R. Doty to air next week

If you will be diving on the Pringle, that's great because the Pringle is a fantastic wreck, in excellent condition, with lots of artifacts.  Be sure to check out the compass in the pilot house and the gauges in the engine room and the bell atop the pilot hose.  The Pringle is small enough where you can see all that stuff in a single dive with a fairly short bottom time.  To be honest, with regard to artifacts, there is actually more to see on the Pringle than there is on the Doty or the Olive Jeanette based on what I have seen. The Doty and OJ are of course very significant historically, but with regard to seeing artifacts and having a fun technical dive, the Pringle is better in my opinion.
