Troop Carrier

Specs:
Landing Craft?
Sunk:
during World War II ?
Depth:
20 ft

This wreck is described only as a "Troop Carrier" from World War II. Given its location, I would guess that what is meant by this is most likely a landing craft; probably lost in an accident during an amphibious training exercise by the Army.

Great White Shark

Great White Shark

Carcharodon carcharias

Size:
to 26 ft, but more likely 12-16 ft

Habitat:
open ocean

Notes:
incredibly dangerous

Great White Shark

Great Whites are not terribly fond of cold water and are more likely to be found further south, although they do appear regularly in Long Island Sound. They are typically pelagic but have been known to come close inshore and even into creeks and rivers on rare occasions.
