ROBERT A. SNOW
The Robert A. Snow, which was built in Rockland, Maine, in 1886, is
also known to many local divers as the Derrick Barge. On February
8,1899, the schooner, while bound from Barren Island to Rockaway
Inlet, sank with her cargo of fertilizer. She now lies two miles
northeast of Rockaway Point in 23 feet of water. Her boilers, ribs
and some machinery can still be seen. This wreck is excellent for
fishing or spearing black fish. This wreck is inshore from the
Black Warrior Shipwreck.
