This is a scanned image of the second page of Captain Jack Parker's sworn affidavit of January 23, 1997 relating to a magnetometer survey and other work he did with Dr. E. Lee Spence at the site of the wreck of the Civil War submarine Hunley.
Parker mentions a snag which Spence dove on, examined, and believed to be the remains of a buoy which had once marked the wreck of the  Housatonic. Parker says the snag was "reasonably close" to a buried anomaly which the had detected during a magnetometer survey of coordinates Dr. Spence had plotted for an object he had found in 1970 and which he believed to be the wreck of the Hunley. It should be noted that Parker makes it clear that the snag and the buried anomaly were not the same object. It was not until the summer of 1999 that the snag was examined by SCIAA and Navy archaeologists. Those archaeologists apparently agree with Dr. Spence's tentative identification of the snag as a buoy. Since  this affidavit was sworn to before a notary in 1997 and the snag is "reasonably close" to the Hunley despite historians long held, but incorrect belief that the Hunley would have been a considerable distance inshore of this location, Parker's affidavit can be viewed as additional evidence that Spence did discover the Hunley. It should also be noted that all of Spence and Parker's field work attested to in this affidavit was completed well prior to fiction writer Clive Cussler and NUMA making their first trip to the site and that was approximately 15 years before NUMA and SCIAA allegedly discovered the Hunley.
