From the Dec, 10, 2009, Queensland (Aus) Times by Binnen Clare.
Jake Cannon, 64, has been prawn-trawling since he was 14 and avoids traveling in an area east-south-east of Cape Moreton lighthouse for fear of wrecking his nets on some deep-water wreckage.
Thirty-five years ago, his net got caught in 98-100 fathoms of water. In the 70s, he says he pulled up some lifeboats in the area, but says he dumped them.
He claims that his dad saw smoke and flames from the Centaur that night.
It Was Quite the Story Back Then. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
