This is a scattered wreck not far from the Great Isaac, clearly a small steel-hulled ship of some kind. There is a boiler and what looks like the remains of a section of hull sticking out of the sand a foot or two.

This is a fascinating big wreck of a wooden schooner barge. The broken stern is upended, forming a hollow pyramid that is full of fish. The sides and keel extend north from there to the bow, from which extends a chain which reaches to another much smaller wreck, which is known as the "Inshore Tug."
