Details: This historical 8 x 10 inch glossy photo of the RP Resor is from a personal collection of hundreds of ships and shipwreck photos produced in the late 1970's and early 80's. All photos have been protected by glassine envelopes in a temperature/humidity controlled environment and they look as glossy as the day they were produced. When diving the RP Resor, you will discover that the wreck is partially destroyed. There is a large hole near the engine room, which allows easy access to inside rooms. The stern is still intact but most of the superstructure has been destroyed. The bridge and after tanks are unrecognizable.
