The Panther was a 110-foot ocean-going tug with barges in tow. She went down in a severe storm. She is loaded with anemone growth and provides a home for myriad forms of marine life. Fluke, tog, pollock, flounder, bergalls, porgy, sea bass, striped bass, and even cod have been seen and taken here in season. Along with these creatures, lobsters and other crustaceans find their homes in and around where the hull meets the sand. All in all, this is an excellent dive.
