From the chart, it is noted Subm platform (ruins) at that spot. I have not heard of any previous issues of this area. I can see if we can get a sonar scan in this area.

An exposed pipe was reported at this location back in February.  The location and a photograph are posted on the GBCA Obstruction Map:  https://gbca.org/ObstructionMap (https://gbca.org/ObstructionMap)

A Sonar look is good.  Getting this thing removed from the water would be great.
