Gwendolyn Steers Wreck - New England

The Gwendolyn Steers, a four-masted schooner lost in 1924, is one of New England’s more atmospheric wreck dives. We love how much of the hull remains intact, especially in the bow section, making it feel less like scattered debris and more like a ship still waiting to be discovered. Dropping down, you often hit a thermocline that brings a noticeable chill, and the visibility can swing wildly, but when it’s good, the structure stands out against the sometimes silty bottom. Schools of pollock often hang off the mast sections, and we’ve found some surprisingly large lobsters tucked into the nooks and crannies. This dive suits those who appreciate maritime history and don’t mind a bit of a low-visibility adventure; it’s a proper New England wreck, rugged and full of character.
