The Jenny Lynne, pictured above, was a 66 feet long, 21.6 feet wide, 106 gross ton steel hulled fishing vessel built in 1972. On December 6, 2003, she was fishing for sardines and, for unknown reasons, starting taking on water. The crew was rescued by a local vessel, the San Pedro Pride. The Jenny Lynne came to rest in 150 feet of sea water with the highest point of the wreck sitting at 135 feet.
A survey the previous month found that there was a good amount of net on the bow, midship and on the seafloor around the wreck. The Ghost Diving USA documentation team took several images to facilitate the planning of the mission. Net Handling Team 1, Jim and Karim, worked on the midship section of the wreck and Net Handling Team 2, Norbert, Shane and Daniel, worked on the bow section of the wreck. Both teams successfully recovered a significant amount of net. Overall, a successful mission for team Ghost Diving USA!
