This is a scattered wreck not far from the Great Isaac, clearly a small steel-hulled ship of some kind. There is a boiler and what looks like the remains of a section of hull sticking out of the sand a foot or two.

Hippocampus erectus
Size: to 6"
Habitat: Weedy protected shore waters.
Notes:
Look for Seahorses in still weedy areas, where they cling to plants and objects with their prehensile tails. Color and body form are highly variable, as these masters of camouflage adapt to their surroundings. Strays may be found at sea, or even washed up on the beach.
