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 productsand bed springs when she sunk.
The Steel Wreck, or as she is also known, The Wire Wreck, restsfive miles out of Jones Inlet in 75 feet of water.Her hull is broken up with only three 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.
Although this wreck is low lying the site is huge. This is one of the
best inshore wrecks for lobster diving off Long Island New York.
