Clearance from Captain W.C. Larry, Headquarters,
Commander Eastern Sea Frontier, Department of the Navy, Brooklyn, New York,
dated May
22, 1974, to Dr. E. Lee Spence at Sea Research Society expressing that "If the
COAC has no objection to your salvage operations, Commander Eastern Sea Frontier
interposes no objections to the planned operations." (i.e. the salvage of the
Hunley.)
Note: Captain W.C. Larry would not have given clearance on behalf of
Commander Eastern Sea Frontier had Spence's map not
been precise enough to show where Sea Research Society would be salvaging the
Hunley.
