Vickie reef

"Vickie" is a very common name, not useful for identification. But note the red "53" on the remains of the wheelhouse. Those are the first two digits of the "Official Number." Some digging turned up the rest: 538793. Another Master Marine trawler, home-ported in New Bedford.

Bayville barge

Bayville barge

Bayville barge

Type:: shipwreck, barge, mini submarine (?)
Depth:: 25 ft

The visibility on this site varies. Average is 10-12ft. This site offers two wrecks which lie in 25 fsw. A British WWI two-man reconnaissance submarine and an old wooden barge. They are both within swimming distance from each other. The marine life is fair around these wrecks. There are a few car tires between the two wrecks and you may find an occasional lobster hiding inside them.

To locate the barge take a compass heading of 330 degrees from the pilings located on the east side of Greenwich Ave. It takes about 50 kick cycles to reach the wreck. To get to the submarine take a compass heading of 30 degrees from the same pilings. This can be reached in about 30 kick cycles. Both of the wrecks are not intact but make for a good dive.
