Margaret

Type:
shipwreck, tugboat ?
Depth:
40 ft

This unknown vessel is listed on the charts as "Margaret" and is speculated to be a tugboat. She may be the remains of the Margaret Olsen, a small steam-driven harbor boat, which collided with the tugboat Joseph A. Ginder on May 4, 1929. Visibility is usually pretty poor, 15 ft or less, and current can be a problem, due to the proximity to Deb's Inlet.
