For the full story of the discovery of the Albacore, please take a look at the video at the bottom of this page:  http://https://pigboats.com/index.php?title=Johnston,_David" rel="nofollow - http://https://pigboats.com/index.php?title=Johnston,_David

I was on the team that identified the wreck site for the Navy. This video is of a lecture that I did on the topic at the Fort Miles Museum in Lewes, DE in April 2024.
