Well, 5 1/2 years after it was found, TBNMS still lists its location as "TBA". If you'like to know its location, Google Etruria and National Register of Historic Places.

Re: Wreck of the Etruria
Have they released any detailed report on the wreck or pictures? I've only heard of the Merrick being released so far.

This may be of interest:
"The wreck of the steel freighter Etruria was also discovered and identified by the researchers. Launched in February 1902 at West Bay City, Michigan, the 414-foot long Etruria sank in 1905, after colliding with a steamer in thick fog. Today, the massive steamer sits upside down in deep water. "

Does anyone know any information about the recent discovery of the Etruria? I had a relative that served aboard her when she went down and I cannot find any pictures or videos let alone anything about the condition of the wreck. Thank you for any information. J.F.
