The Santore was a 449' long cargo carrier that struck one of the mines laid by the U-701 at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. As the wreck was a hazard to navigation, the partially submerged vessel was demolished by the Coast Guard cutter Gentian. One of the large bronze propellers was salvaged by a group led by Robert Hollowell, though one still remains somewhere on the wreck site. The remains of the Santore are spread out along the bottom in 60' of water, encrusted with a variety of invertebrate life. Although extremely broken up, a wary diver may be rewarded with an artifact hidden amongst the wreck.
