The Wreck Today: The Two Fannies lies upright in 60 feet of water. Her decking is gone and, while much of the stern is collapsed, her huge rudder and rudderpost are an impressive sight. The centerboard and bracing beams dominate the mid section of the wreck. Look for the windlass, chain, ships knees, occasional deadeyes and two capstans, one at the bow and another next to the centerboard. There is a net off the port stern
