We took the best pictures from our USS Oriskany sinking coverage and turned them into a oversize 2007 wall calendar. At 11″ x 17″ per photo, it’s sure to get a lot of attention at the home or office. A great gift for many interests - boating, fishing, diving, military, … Each calendar sold helps DestinSharks.com continue its mission to provide quality, free content to our worldwide audience.
As promised we put together the best of our video coverage. Be forewarned - taking video from a pitching deck with amateur equipment and then compressing it to video for the web doesn’t make for great quality. We do think it gives a better feel for what it was like to be there than the chopper videos. Be sure to also read our full story on the sinking and check our our photo gallery.

A Great Way to Spend a Wednesday Morning
It’s a rare day indeed you can run your own boat offshore to watch an aircraft carrier sink. For me, it was the farthest I’d been offshore by about 32 of the 37 mile distance out of Destin Pass. We took the kids to see the Oriskany in Pennsacola last year and thought it’d be quite a treat to see it sunk. At the time, our 20′ boat was up to the task. Since then, we upgraded to our 27′ Regal which was more than adequate for the trip.
