59-Pounder

Depth:: 110 ft

This unidentified wood wreck sits in 110 feet of water 17 miles out of Fire Island Inlet. The wreck was found by Captain Jay Porter the wreck was apparently named for the weight of a large codfish caught on the site. The wreck's wooden ribs only protrude a foot or so out of the sand but divers report that the site is excellent for catching large lobsters. A few years ago Captain Billy DeMarigny found the ship's bell. Unfortunately, no name was on it.
