    Anyone seen the book/pamphlet Shipwrecks Of The Connecticut Coast

    The Olinda is off the east end of Fishers Island real close to shore. Not much left other then the boiler and the prop shaft. It was a shallow dive and a fun one. I was there, its been logged and I probably wont be returning.
