Well did anyone go today???

I went out Sunday, two dives in the Boston Harbor, Graves light.

56' was our Max depth, but we kept it shallow, 35' for the most of the two dives, the temp read 52F in the first dive, 55 in the second dive, we found some bugs, lots of soft shell ones and lots of shorts, a sea robin and some flounder were decorating the bottom, as well as sea urchins, and small star fish, very pretty site lots of color fun dive.

We dove the "911 Schooner"(BI Sound) on Sunday. It was a great dive with decent visibility and
marine life.

Hi John,

Not familiar with that wreck. Does it also go by another name, or is it one of your finds?

Yup, it's an original. I had a couple of hang numbers that we decided to check out on
a day when we wanted to try something different. We expected to find a couple of fishing boats but much to our surprise, one turned out to be a Schooner or Schooner
Barge( we don't which yet, although we are leaning toward the former as we have not seen any towing bitts at the site) approx. 170' feet long. The starboard side is intact up to the turn of the bilge. There is part of a steel mast, Steam "donkey" engine, winch, boiler and pile of anchor chain. The second target that we found that day was a let down compared to the first. It ended up being a flattened square wood coal barge
that showed up as just a very light rough looking bottom on the depthsounder.

Congratulations. Would like to see them when you are done.

I got some shots that I took on Saturday that I will post as soon as I download them.
We have another one out by the L-8 that we are trying to identify also. It is just the stern section of something(no it isn't the Black Point). It looks like an old lighter or something like that. We are calling that one "Dave's Wreck" after out good friend and dive buddy, Dave Knibbs who passed away in 2002 a few weeks after diving it for the first time.

Yeah, I think it was the lumpfish. Funny, the first thing I thought when I saw it was...wow, that's a lumpy looking fish. Thanks for the pic.
