Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.
And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

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.
The Happy Days appears to be the remains of a wooden schooner. The Happy Days sits in 115 feet of water just east of the G&D wreck. According to Jimmy Fazzolare this wreck consists of scattered wreckage with one mast stump sticking up. Jim reports that the wrecks bell was recovered by one of the Aquarians Club divers. Unfortunately, the bell did not have the wreck's name on it. Visibility here is often hampered by sediment from a silty bottom. Jim reports that this wreck is one of the best lobster wrecks in the area.
