So I attached a pic that I took from the area we dove from off a boat in Boston Harbor today. We were out a graves light (?) and apparently I was doing a wreck dive...the guys on the boat were calling it the animal ship or zoo ship or something like that. I guess it used to transfer zoo animals or was a floating zoo?? Does anyone have any info on this? I did not see any cages, and I only saw what looked like sheets of metal piled up and laying all over. Apparently this is a large wreck spread out with the animal cages all around.
As a side note, vis was @5-10', water was cold, yes I admit I was cold today :14: . Max depth @67', but averaged @50'. Saw my first wolf fish....looked big(@3') as it swam by me, but so did the bugs till I got them against the gauge ;) . Oh, and my eyes bugged out of my head big time when my dive buddy grabbed me and put his hand over his head to make the 'shark' sign. My head spun around about 3 times until I noticed he was also signing the size (@2'). I never did see it....back on the boat he said a dogfish swam right by us. I missed it, but he missed the wolf fish so I guess we're even. :D
 
You were diving the wreck of the City of Salisbury. Do a search of this forum and you'll get all the background info on it. I've been on it a couple of times and IMHO it's one of the best dives in the Harbor. Viz was crappy the last time I was there, too. And, yes, that is Graves Light.
