The Wolcott is an unknown wooden schooner. This wreck was found and named by charter boat captain, Jay Porter on the day that Jersey Joe Wolcott beat Joe Louis in boxing's title match.
This wreck was formerly thought to be the Yankee. However, the "G&D" was identified as the Yankee, leaving this wreck unidentified. It consists of engine, boilers, driveshaft, and propeller, and is reputed to be a good lobster wreck.
