  The Steel Wreck

 The name of this wreck may be forever a mystery.  She was a square masted wooden vessel carrying a cargo of wire products  and bed springs when she sunk.  The Steel Wreck, or as she is also known, The Wire Wreck, rests  five miles out of Jones Inlet in 75 feet of water.  Her hull is broken up with only two sections of her ribs remaining.  All around her are the piles of wire and rusted steel that she was carrying,  which now provide a good home for lobsters and other crustaceans. John Lachenmayer tells me that portholes from this wreck are octagonal in shape and make a very unique artifact.
