The Wreck of the Marie J. Thompson

​

Underwater footage from the wreck site of the 1920's wooden schooner Marie J. Thompson. The remains of the ship sit in 15 feet of water in Man of War Harbor, north of Key West. The water in this area tends to be greener and murkier than that found on the reef.
