When we asked for help we received it. And many of the people who contributed their valuable time and energy did so over an above what was expected of them. We wish to thank these individuals and their organizations personally for their hard work and their effort in providing us with reams of invaluable information and assistance.
It seems like everyone who has come into contact
with the Alpha Wreck has made a personal
connection with it. We know we have.
Thank you all for your help.
