ABOARD THE USS JEROME COUNTY—(NAV
NEWS ) — A.page in the book of the my
steries of the'deep has been peeled
back for the world, to read as a result
of the efforts of this tank landing
ship.
The story began when the JEROME COU
I NTY anchored at an entrance to Kure
Atoll in the Midway area to establish
NavAid stations ashore. When she hea
| ved around to get underway* the bow
anchor was lost and the- stern anchor
fouled by an obstruction. Examination
showed portions of an old wreck and,
a-fter plotting the location, the' ship
proceeded on her way.
She later returned to recover the
lost anchor and, after a detailed sea
rch, . relocated the wreakage. Two mem
bers of Underwater demolition Team 12
were flown in from Midway to assist in
the recovery of the ship's anchor and
soon had it aboard the JEROME COUNTY.
A through examination of the barn
acle encrusted wreckage disclosed that
it was a ship of about 150-200 feel* in
length with a 30-40 foot beam and app
eared to be a combination sailor-steam
er. Several large anchorswore spotted
and one was recovered as a souvenir.
After the ‘JEROME COUNTY returned
to Midway, crew members began resear
ching to determine the identify of the
mystery ship. They found that several
ships have been lost at Kure Atoll,
such as the "Cunnotter Castle" in 1889,
but their precise locations are not
known. The "Saginaw" was considered
for awhile but she also had to be
eliminated.
