Middle Barge

towing bit
Type:
shipwreck, schooner barges ( 3 )
Depth:
75 ft

This site is actually the remains of three wooden schooner barges, sunk almost next to each other, as though they were lashed together. At one end of the site, an anchor chain runs off into the sand from a large winch, ending in nothing. At the other end, a huge towing bit is upended in the sand.

Squirrelfish

Holocentrus adscensionis

Size: to 12"

Habitat: inlets and rivers, late in the season

Notes: Squirrelfishes are nocturnal - the enormous eye is a dead giveaway. Look for small ones at night in the late summer and early fall in the rivers and inlets. Unfortunately, they are rare visitors to our area.
