The "Glory Wreck" is a twisted mass of hull plates and steel spread over a wide area on a sandy bottom. Artifacts are occasionally found: portholes and brass. She is usually a good lobster wreck.

Possibly the remains of the Lake Frampton; once thought to be the Kennebec.

crane barge

Type:: shipwreck, barge
Sunk:: March 2004
foundered under tow
Depth:: 60 ft

This medium-sized crane barge sank under tow in March 2004. The barge is upside-down, but propped up at a 30-degree angle by the crane, rising 30 feet off the bottom at the highest point. The crane is a large rotating affair that is permanently mounted on the barge. It is not the crumpled arm of the crane that supports the hull, but the central cab, so the wreck is stable, and it is safe to explore the cavernous dark space below. The bottom is coarse sand and pea gravel. Eventually, the wreck will crush flat, but that will probably take several years, and until then this is a fun and interesting site. Big eels, Sea Bass, and even one or two lobsters can be found here.
