MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.
If you read the article, you'll discover it's not PT-109. It's actually PT-59, which he commanded after PT-109 was sunk. . . .

Lt Col Charlie Brown
MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. - I know. This one was found in the Harlem river. It's the one he commanded AFTER PT-109

PT boats were made of plywood, if it sank in the 1970s, how can there be much of anything left to call a wreck? Just my opinion.

Searchers and explorers have found dugout canoes dating to 8040 BCE, the Vasa sank in 1628 and is crazy new looking (google it, and then go to the museum if you can get to Europe). They pulled leather equipment out of the Hunley and the USS Monitor.
Plus it has been sitting in the silt, muck, and mud of the river...that is notorious for preserving items. They found 17 and 18th century ship parts when they were doing construction in Manhattan. So it isn't unheard of.
