Shipwreck Balaena

shipwreck, wooden hull full of coal

A wood sailing ship in the Mud Hole at a depth of 170 feet. She was a collier or ore carrier. She is still largely intact, coal in what's left of her holds. Divers tell tales of finding lots of deadeyes, but I haven't seen or heard of one coming from this wreck in many years. Her bell was found to identify her name, but not much else has been discovered about her history. A dive for the very experienced diver. Limited visibility, deep and dark. For those with the technical dive skill, it is a very nice dive.


Shipwreck Rickseckers
Type:
shipwreck, steamer
Depth:
66 ft

This is the remains of an unidentified vessel which we located in August of 1986. She appears to be an old paddlewheel steamship, but this is only speculation and has yet to be confirmed. The only artifact I've found on this little wreck was a perfume bottle with the name "Rickseckers Perfume" on it, hence the name, Rickseckers.


Eureka
Type:
shipwreck, trawler?, USA
Depth:
110 ft

debris field, boiler, machinery


Type:
shipwreck, barge
Sunk:
March 2004
foundered under tow
Depth:
60 ft

This medium-sized crane barge sank under tow in March 2004. The barge is upside-down, but propped up at a 30-degree angle by the crane, rising 30 feet off the bottom at the highest point. The crane is a large rotating affair that is permanently mounted on the barge. It is not the crumpled arm of the crane that supports the hull, but the central cab, so the wreck is stable, and it is safe to explore the cavernous dark space below. The bottom is coarse sand and pea gravel. Eventually, the wreck will crush flat, but that will probably take several years, and until then this is a fun and interesting site. Big eels, Sea Bass, and even one or two lobsters can be found here.


Shipwreck Pinta
Type:
shipwreck, freighter, Netherlands
Name:
The Pinta was one of three sister ships named for Columbus' original three vessels, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
Built:
1959, Denmark
Specs:
( 194 x 31 ft ) 1000 gross tons, 12 crew
Sunk:
Wednesday May 8, 1963
collision with freighter City of Perth ( 7547 tons) - no casualties
GPS:
40°13.827' -73°50.625' (AWOIS 1988)
Depth:
85 ft, starts at 55 ft

Type:
shipwreck, probably a barge
Depth:
120 ft

A sailing ship or small steamship in 120 feet of water. Sandy bottom, but given to silty conditions. Like the Deep Dry Dock, she has been dragged apart, mowed down, and pulled apart. She has some nice bronze parts strewn about.

Expired link - Seeker for sale again.

Only $25,000. Sounds like they blew an engine. Pity, they put a lot of work into the old girl.
