"In 1979, Master Boat Builders crafted its very first vessel, an 85-foot-long shrimping boat named Tar Heel Tide. We have come a long way since those early days, yet our passion for crafting quality boats has never changed. We are excited to continue evolving in the future and can't wait to see more growth and advancement in the industry."

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.
