This shows the strength of a river. this washed up on Caterpillar Island.....
Yes! That's the famous photo that gets passed around! Funny...
Now I might as well cover this here (there will be more to come) but, turns out there are some ship wrecks on the shoreline of Caterpillar Island. Snag points for a money bag passing by? Here is a map of them and a photo the one at the northern tip of Caterpillar Island. Did Tosaw dive these wrecks?

The ship wreck at the northern end of Caterpillar Island was removed a long time ago (maybe before 1971) according to Amazon. It used to be plotted on the GPO topographical maps but doesn't show up in the aerial photographs of the area.
The six(?) shipwrecks in the channel on the southern end of CI were probably old ships that were tied up there, abandoned, and left to sink. I have not seen any indication on them on maps or in photographs.
Don't forget that the money was probably found at an elevation that was higher than the shipwrecks.
