The Wreck Today: The bulkheads of the barge were crushed so she was not salvaged. The hull is on its side and her crane, surprisingly, is still attached. One spud is suspended horizontally approximately 50 feet above the bottom.
This wreck lies in 180 feet of water. It is well beyond the limits of sport diving as defined by all major certifying agencies. As such this dive should only be attempted by very experienced divers with specialized training for depths in excess of sport diving limits.
