How could you know John Wayne, The Shootist and not the female lead?

Good job!

We're still waiting for answers to "We all know that in 1776, 13 British colonies broke away from the empire. How many colonies did the Brits have in North America at the time?"

and to Jim's question, "What was the first ship sunk as a result of the US entering WW I (Yes its diveable) Part of it was also the first shot fired by the US after entering WW I" To be honest, I don't understand the question.

No fair Googling!

This from a song with a diving tie-in:

"Way down below the ocean, where I want to be, she may be."

Name the song and the last name of the singer.

Sorry I did not make it clear. The SMS Cormoran was inerned in Guam at the time we entered WW I and declared war on Germany. The US appointed military Govn'r of Guam demanded that the German captian surrender the ship. He refused and scuttled the ship. This was hours after the US had declared war on Germany. As the envoy that came to deliver the demand to surrender the ship was departing the German supply skiff approached unaware of the procedings. The US Lt that had delivered the message to surrender ordered the German supply skiff to change course. When they did not he had one of the US sailors fire a shot across its bow. This was the first US shot of WW I.

Hope you liked the show. It was my 15min of fame. I was the local guy without the wetsuit and fins that clashed.

Jim,

I really enjoyed that show!! Is was cool seeing a WWI and WWII ship that close!! Too bad they had all but forgot about that Cormoran until then. I liked the swin thru's they did too. Too bad that one guy died years ago while diving her. He had some good items he brought up.

I think it's appropriate for me to ask the question Big O asked in another thread.
