On 2nd December 2007 two former fishing boats, James Cook and Szap 8, were towed from Wellington by the CentrePort tug Toia and were scuttled in an ex-ammunition dumping site in Cook Strait, some 15 nautical miles south west of Cape Palliser, in 1,700 metres of water.
Is there any footage of the Atlantic Elizabeth scuttling?

Was the James Cook always that low? It looks like it's been severely stripped down.

I used to fish with my back to these boats every week for years, wishing them gone. Now that I've seen them slip beneath the waves... it's a bit sad, really. They were not old, just unloved and uncared for.

Good film. however I would have liked to being able to dive through my cabin on the old Nan Hai. Saved from scuttling, Being bought as a Shitbox, millions spent on her over the earlier years, Died....., Oh Well! Rest in peace.
