The Happy Days appears to be the remains of a wooden schooner. The Happy Days sits in 115 feet of water just east of the G&D wreck. According to Jimmy Fazzolare this wreck consists of scattered wreckage with one mast stump sticking up. Jim reports that the wrecks bell was recovered by one of the Aquarians Club divers. Unfortunately, the bell did not have the wreck's name on it. Visibility here is often hampered by sediment from a silty bottom. Jim reports that this wreck is one of the best lobster wrecks in the area.
