The rectangular formations (100-feet deep), which we believe are building foundations, were first found by Bill Donato via side-scan sonar in Nov 06. But Bill could not find them diving after the sonar picked them up. (Strong bottom currents.) We went to Bimini in late June, used our own side-scan sonar to refind the rectangular structures, immediately dropped lead weight buoy markers into them and then dived them. To my knowledge no one else has ever reported these.

The marble: the Browns took us there as they had been there briefly several years ago. They knew we wanted to see any bottom stone that they knew about. They had never dived it before and did not know it was marble. After we cleaned off part of it we knew what it was. When Lora and I returned to the states we started searching every written report we could find. That's when we found what Wingate wrote about it. The site has probably been known about for some time and some people probably know it is marble and most only care about the site because a lot of fish hang out there. We found the marble at the end of our trip and we were basically done with Bimini. I'm grateful Wingate wrote about it because he saved us a lot of work and a lot of worry.

Nothing at Andros or the Great Bahama Bank relates to Wingate.
