Brick barge

Type:
shipwreck, barge
Depth:
90 ft

The remains of this old schooner have produced a bell, a large pump, numerous dead eyes and large lobster.  A massive cargo of red bricks form a large mound rising over ten feet above the surrounding sand bottom. This mound extends for over one hundred feet. Large pieces of hull, rigging and anchors are buried beneath the bricks. The brick-paved topography makes this an interesting dive.
