Posted by cambrianguy 9/24/2007 4:17 AM | remove   Ya, it is (luckily) on this side, but on the other side, it's all gone. Not sure if was the work of vandals or natural erosion (or driftwood or boats hitting it on accident?) Posted by rapcw 9/24/2007 4:40 AM | remove   Ha, boats hitting it on accident? This place sounds like the Delta! Actually, while I'm on the subject of the Delta waterways, there are in fact several submerged islands scattered around. The biggest one is Franks Tract, which was flooded when a levee broke in 1936. Now its a huge body of water and a state recreation area, looks very inviting, but is in fact very treacherous to navigate. Supposedly when it was flooded there was no time to evacuate equipment and structures so it all was left behind, which over time resulted in numerous boat collisions with underwater objects. Some of the locals say tractors were visible at very low tides. Even the power line poles were left in place until PG&E was forced to go out and remove them in the 1970s due to so many complaints regarding accidents. Average depth within the island now is 3 feet, who knows whats down there. It would be a great place to scuba, if the visibility wasn't limited to 6 inches on a good day! That said, it seems like it would be more erosion than collisions that caused the damage. When a propeller hits a surface such as rock or concrete at a good speed, based on personal experience, its gonna be the propeller that gets banged up, not the surface it struck.
