Hi Rick, I think the deepest was 20 feet. Not a deep dive but still very interesting. I enjoyed it!
Look for the name of the park in the video, then look at the photo I attached here and the red spot marks the location.. It's in the outskirts of Hartford. After you dive it you can drift dive down to the dock too.... Defenately take a dive flag with you!

Nice video. How do you find this wreck and how deep is it? It doesn't look much beyond 10 ft.

Quick question - we want to dive this site this Sunday - coming from NJ.

Fiddler - did you swim upstream rather than drop off the wall? Is that the best approach? If it is raining this week - will that completely mess up the viz? It was interesting the nearest LDS had no idea the site was here...

Rich - if you want to try it we are going to give it a go on Sunday 9/4 - don't have a time yet but you can message me - shooting for before noon time (traffic dependent)...
 
HI BRD, You kind of need to dive up river to get to it... you can only drive up the park road for a bit then it is closed-off. The swim is really not that bad and then you will have fun drifting back down. I think the weekend is supposed to be nice, but if it rains don't bother. Visibility will be really bad! Follow the image I posted above and you should be able to find it no problem. It's close to shore.
 
So finally I made the trip - a video of the Mystery Schooner...
