Hi George,
You had me stumped at first with your "legend" date of 8 June 1989, but I finally thought about her discovery by Dr. Ballard's oceanography team. The date may be a bit off, though. According to Ballard's book, the discovery of the first debris came on 5 June 1989, but the ship itself first came into view on the 8th as you indicated.
Best regards.
Bob

Hi Rob
Yeap mate, correct
5th of June 1989 first debris, but no result, that's why it's called the "debris field" on his maps...
8th of June 1989...BINGO!!!
Take care mate,
Best regards, George
