Iron hulled U.S. Navy tug which foundered at sea. Built: 1865. Sunk: 1910. Length: 137 ft. Depth: 70-80 ft. A favorite digging wreck continuing to produce many artifacts for the diligent salvage hound. Good "bug" catchers can usually find a lobster if they try. The ribs of the bow are very apparent and are of good relief, but it has started to disintegrate in recent years. Take care with the stern section, as a fishing trawler dropped its net over it in 1994.
