The SS Norlindo could contain up to 200,000 gallons of heavy fuel oil, which, if released, could affect 'shorelines from the east coast of Florida, the Florida Keys, and the north coast of Cuba ... We cannot predict when the spill might occur.”
For the second time in two years, ocean explorers are trying to find the elusive wreck of the SS Norlindo — a World War II ship deemed historic and hazardous.
“Previous expeditions carried out by the team resulted in the identification of several magnetic anomalies that could indicate a shipwreck. Unfortunately, both expeditions were prematurely terminated due to foul weather, leaving nearly half of the search area unexplored,” NOAA reports. “We didn’t find the Norlindo, but we found that this is a much more severe cliff than it was known to be,” research associate professor Leonardo Macelloni said in the release.
