Dr. Hugh Myrick's sworn affidavit of January 28, 1997
attesting that in 1994/1995, he, Dr. Steve Swavely, Mike Freeman,
Pete Petrone, and several others were planning an expedition with Spence to
photograph the Hunley, and that Spence had described it to him as located
near the Housatonic, in 27' of water. He also says that Spence told his
it was buried when he last checked the spot in 1979 (that last point is
extremely important because it shows that Spence was not confusing it with the
sunken buoy, as that object stuck two feet out of the sand in 1979).
