I meant "doesn't" really show up on Google Earth.

MSN virtual earth has a feature called "birds eye view" it works very well for close ups.Its a free download. I dont think this Nathan Smith means the wreck is in the footprint I think he means the footprint is near the wreck.The dam on Burgentine creek was completed in 1941.Hence Burgentine lake.If that ship went all the way up St. Charles Bay during a heavy storm I doubt that it would have gone much farther than this spot.Look at the waterline all around the lake using google earth at about 1500'.The image with msn virtual earth was taken at a higher water level.not good.Tell me if you see anything.Or think you see anything.

Amazing, this musician just happens to be going after the largest sunken treasure that does not require modern day submarines to retrieve, he is a blind greedy man and at the end he will have nothing. It is a shame that NO NEWS organization did any research on his lawyers claims. Unfortunately for him, it is not finders keepers. Only in this era of blood sucking trial lawyers can someone try to come to your backyard and sue you for the right to dig up your backyard. If you look at the law, you must be able to float a log on that river bed, and unfortunately, you can even float a twig with an ant on it.
