Message: [QUOTE="David G. Brown, post: 104300, member: 136775"] Ioannis is partially correct. John and Richie were not the first people to clap eyes on those piece of double bottom. However, those who saw the pieces first either failed to recognize their significance, or deliberately withheld information against some future personal gain. Whatever the reasons, the Kohler/Chatterton team was the first to correctly explore and document the two pieces of double bottom. If they did not "discover" them in the sense of seeing them for the first time, I believe John and Richie can lay claim to discovering the true importance of those pieces and they were certainly the first to present full documentation of them to the general public. -- David G.
