Located by divers in late 1975, this formerly unidentified "Hope Island Wreck" is the 139` 3" (41.8-metre) schooner, Marquette. Although pilfered of some of its artifacts (only one deadeye remains, on the bowsprit), this site offers excellent views and photography opportunities of two wooden-stocked bow anchors (with chains still connecting them to the windlass), a samson post, double framing, centreboard box, centreboard winch, main mast step, a capstan lying on its side in the sand inside the hull, hatch coaming, plank sheers, transom, transom wing, and a portion of the rudder.
