The EL FARO, an American flag container ship went down with all hands in a hurricane on October 3, 2015. (NY TIMES COVERAGE OF THE SINKING). The ship, with 33 U.S. Merchant Mariners in the crew ,was en-route from Jacksonville, Florida to San Juan , Puerto Rico when it ceased communications. After weeks of searching, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) located the wreck nearly three miles beneath the sea. On Sunday January 3, 2016 the NTSB released photos and video of the wreck which rests in remarkably clear water, apparently upright resting on its keel. The MARITIME EXECUTIVE MAGAZINE on line version has the video available for viewing: http://maritime-executive.com/article/video-footage-of-el-faro-released
