About this Spring
Named for a sunken metal-hulled movie prop (used in the 1959 film "Don't Give Up the Ship," starring Jerry Lewis) resting on the sandy bottom near this vent, located between Rocky Vent and Catfish Convention Hall in the Silver River cave system, visible only to certified cave/technical divers.
