The image killed my old P60, but it got down to the Caribbean before it died. What I have always liked about maps that showed the continental shelf is the drainage channels at the edges that are completely submersed now. There could have been maybe three basins in the Caribbean that were candidates for drying out, besides the areas that would have above sea level anyway. Who knows what is down there? In the English Channel you can see the bottom if you are sailing, it's not deep at all, but parts of the Caribbean are very deep.
