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.
