| The gorgeous, 7 foot (diameter), teak and bronze auxiliary steering helm of the Ayuruoca. |  |
 |
A closer look at this beautiful artifact. |
| This is the 2-inch space between the helm (on the left), and a heavy, metal shroud. You can just barely see the shaft down in there. There is a reason why this beautiful artifact is still here! It is also in a very tight, enclosed area (which also happens to be covered in 3-inch armor plate). |  |
 |
One last look at the helm (I bet you can tell that I really, really like it)! |
| A nice, brass deadlight on the Ayuruoca stern. |  |

A large, spare ship's anchor in the stern of the Oil Wreck. |

Here's a picture of me (Christina). Don't I look like a cone head here? ;-) |
| Patty Horsch does her decompression after an Ayuruoca dive. She's famous for bringing delicious, home-made brownies on every trip! |  |

Ray Evangelista shows off a large, brass porthole he recovered from the debris field near the break in the Oil Wreck stern. |
