The Gwendoline Steers was used to haul gravel from a huge gravel pit in Northport to NYC. The loss of the Gwendoline Steers may have been due to icing in a blizzard, or age and poor maintenance. A week earlier she had been run aground. The wreck sits intact and upright, with usually poor visibility.
