The "Rump" is a typical schooner barge wreck - 3 parallel wooden walls in the sand. At the east end is an assortment of machinery and chain where the three walls converge at what must have been the bow. Deep holes in the outer walls hide some very safe little lobsters.

Nearby is a pile of rocks known as the "Hemorrhoids".
