If Bishop Rock was at a depth of 98 feet, neither the clipper ship Bishop nor the Enterprise would have struck it and it wouldn't be buoyed because it wouldn't be a hazard to any shipping. It's been many years since I was in the area, but I believe the correct depth of the rock is about 9 ft. The U.S. Coast Pilot 7 39th edition says a wreck covered 3 ft 200 yards from the rock itself is the shoalest point on Cortes Bank.

Additionally, I'm not sure why a spot called 9 Fathom Bank (54 feet) would also be 98 feet deep. Someone with access to a chart could check this.RZid 07:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Republic of the reefs link is down, and appears to be a permanent situation. --RaffiKojian (talk) 16:18, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would rather see a Geography section than the trivia sounding stuff that is in the article now

Part of that is that I noticed the region looks like a flow of some sort in Google Earth. Will (Talk - contribs) 10:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

== I will post some copyright legal photos from the Bank's history in the near future.
== The information on Bishop Rock being 98 feet deep has been corrected.
