Still Treacherous
Photograph by Christoph Gerigk
Scholz illuminates the door to Steuben's bridge as well as nets left behind by almost 60 years of fishing activity. Photographer Gerigk spent several hair-raising minutes tangled in one of these nets. With barely enough air for 25 minutes at the wreck and another hour and 40 minutes needed for a slow return to the surface, such snags could prove fatal for divers. "I shot this photo only minutes after getting free," he says, "as a personal souvenir."
