Inshore Barge/Tug
- Type:
- schooner barge & tugboat ?
- Depth:
- 85 ft
This is a fascinating big wreck of a wooden schooner barge. The broken stern is upended, forming a hollow pyramid that is full of fish. The sides and keel extend north from there to the bow, from which extends a chain which reaches to another much smaller wreck, which is known as the "Inshore Tug."
Whether this actually is the tug that was towing the barge, or just a coincidental sinking, is unknown. Using a chain for a tow line would be highly unusual. Perhaps the barge was anchored to ride out a storm, and the tug sank on top of its hook. It may not even be a tugboat - it might be named that simply because it is inshore of the Great Isaac.
