140’ unknown wooden wreck laying in 75’. Due to the lack of rigging, the vessel was most likely a converted schooner barge, a common sight along the Mid-Atlantic during the early 20th century. The wreck is contiguous with a few remaining brass spikes along the hull, hence the name. Off the port side of the stern remains the rudder debris, (as of 9/98) with one large brass gudgeon left. The site is commonly dove now, but used to be home to abundant quantities of large tautog when first visited.

Broken up with 10 ft. of relief, this wreck is aptly named for the numerous brass spikes available for scavenging. Also seen on this wreck are lobster, tautog and flounder
