That rig looks remarkably like something I found last summer. Viz was bad even at 40 feet so I didn't film it.

I have seen many things in the lake that are strange. Some I could eventually ID, many I could not. This structure/object was one I could not. It was like nothing I had ever seen before.

It was heavy wood, with odd angles to the planking, that had both as I recall a horizontal dimension and a vertical dimension up into the water column. It still baffles me. When I saw the picture APS posted it clicked that maybe this is one of these great old machines. If so it would be worth bringing up.

I will go back this summer and dive it again, this time filming it.

Thanks for the great pictures everyone. My father was a private pilot for almost 40 years-fond memories flying with him all over.
