[Rhodes22-list] Submerged Rhodes

[stan]

your and Rummy of course are correct - I think that is a shallow water way 
and might theorize that the snow load was enough to push it down enough to 
bed the keel in the mud (the self bailers would have been clogged) and once 
full of water it did not take much resistance to keep it down?
