The Lady Ana was indeed a Denison, probably in the 120' range, but a true sport fishing boat. She did go down off of the New Jersey coast, under some what suspicious circumstances. There was also some protracted litigation between Dennison, the builder, and the owner. It may still be going on. The insurance company did send down a "newt suit" diver who video taped the boat. They were attempting to determine whether or not the boat was scuttled - I don't think they could conclusively prove anything one way or the other. I have seen the video and it is truly amazing. I would die for the Penn International reels in the cockpit. The Captain of the boat testifed at a Coast Guard hearing and subsequently lost his license. He then had a "change of heart" and claimed he would not be the fall guy and produced a totally different set of facts. Who really knows?
