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.

small local trawler

A small local trawler. The net is stowed on the large white spool aft, while the wooden otter boards are stowed alongside. Newer vessels like this put the fishing gear over the stern, while some older trawlers still put the net and otter boards over the starboard side, leaving the port side free for loading and unloading at the dock.
