Steel Wreck

Type:
shipwreck
Depth:
80 ft

This unidentified wreck known as the "Steel Wreck" is actually misnamed. She was really a wooden-hulled vessel, carrying a load of metal and wire goods. She's quite broken up, with only a few sections of ribbing and planking remaining. Pieces of her cargo are strewn about the wreckage. This is generally a good lobster wreck. It has been reported that portholes recovered from here are octagonal in shape, not circular.
