Some quick background
My family and I were at the cove cooking out and the kids were swimming. Here a diver comes out and starts talking to my wife about a wreck that is just outside the mouth of the cove. I chime in and ask for a heading or something and he points out to the mouth of the cove just a few feet off the rocks (low tide) at a small structure that when you look at it is does not really fit the other structures, its off the main body of rocks, its cylidrical and at about a 45degree angle to the water. The diver goes on to tell us that it is some wreck just not sure of what its called or much else regarding age ect...
My wife and I intentionally head to this dive site at the lowest tide and head out to this structure, it is completely covered in growth the cylinder part that is at this point a few feet above the water comes down to the bottom and is part of a larger sturcture yet. There is other debrie (we have seen it before and just assumed it was from the Fort that is above it (Fort Williams) and may well be, but now curiosity has me going.
I know I have not discovered some long lost wreck but cannot seem to find any information regarding specifics such as name, circa, type of vessel, or what have you. It could just very well be something that got pushed in from a wreck that may have been further out in the channel during a heavy storm. I have begun doing some basic research and found (to my amazement) that there are hundreds of wrecks just off the coast here (guess I am not amazed it is the Atlantic Coast), but nothing that gives a specific identification to what is in the cove.
If anyone has any idea's or knowlege your input would be greatly appreciated. Pretty cool stuff under the ocean and people all ways ask "do you see anything out there"
Thanks
