Site details

An unnamed steel stern trawler of roughly 65 ft rests on top of Stellwagen Bank in just over 30 m of water, inside the outbound Boston shipping lane that crosses the national marine sanctuary. Decades on the bottom have split the wreck apart: the pilothouse stands upright with helm, throttle, and radio gear still visible, while the hull and stern lie separately near a lone trawl net reel, with patches of blue and white paint still clinging to the steel. NOAA and a local dive charter installed a subsurface mooring here, and divers visiting the site are helping investigate the wreck's still-unsolved identity.
