The Wreck Today: The Pascal Pratt was salvaged in 1909 and some of the machinery and much of her coal was removed. Later salvors dynamited her. She lies widely scattered on a sand bottom. One boiler, a propeller, and some machinery remain. Her stern rises some 10 feet off the bottom and the structure attracts many fish to the site.
