Larsen

Type:
shipwreck, tanker
Specs:
( 120 ft )
Depth:
115 ft

This is erroneously called a tug, but its shape and size indicate that she was once might have been a small oiler or tanker. The wreck lies upright in the muddy bottom at 120 feet. She comes up 15 feet off the bottom in many places and is mostly intact. I have little idea of age, but her conditions suggest she's been there for 30-40 years or more.

Nothing of substance in the way of artifacts. She is all steel. It should be a nice place for lobster, as she isn't often dived, but after many years of trying, we have never made the great killing you'd expect from a not too often dived spot. A very nice dive despite this.

Cods are easily identified: they all have three separate soft-rayed dorsal fins and two separate soft-rayed anal fins. They also have a sensory barbel on the chin, although in some species this is so reduced as to be virtually absent.
