    We love a good New England wreck, and this 65-foot steel trawler offers a real slice of the region's fishing history. Dropping to just under 28 meters, it's a perfect depth for advanced open water divers looking to hone their wreck skills without getting too deep. What really makes this trawler stand out is how completely nature has reclaimed it. You'll descend onto a hull draped in anemones, their tentacles swaying gently in the current. Look closely among the rust-coloured plates and you’ll spot cunner and juvenile pollock darting in and out, treating the structure like a personal apartment block. Our favourite part? Peering into the wheelhouse, often still silhouetted against the ambient light, where you might catch a glimpse of a lobster lurking in the shadows. It's a proper adventure, exploring the tight spaces, feeling the cool water press in around you. Visibility can be a bit variable, so we'd suggest hitting it on a calm day after a few days without heavy rain for the best experience. It's a tangible link to a bygone era, offering a poignant look at how the ocean eventually reclaims everything.

    Cause

    unknown

    Resting in the cool, nutrient-rich waters off the coast of New England, this unnamed 65-foot steel fishing trawler offers a classic wreck diving experience for the region. Its history is lost to time, but it likely met its end during one of the fierce storms that characterize the North Atlantic, a common fate for the hardworking vessels of the local fishing fleets. Today, the wreck sits at a depth of approximately 90 feet (27 meters), making it an excellent dive for advanced open water divers. Though small, the structure provides a fascinating habitat for marine life. Divers can expect to find it colonized by anemones and sponges, while schools of pollock and cunner swarm its decks, and lobsters make their homes in its dark recesses.
