Site details

The steam barge S.C. Baldwin (1871) sank off Point Beach near Two Rivers in August 1908 and was relocated by sport fishermen in the mid-1970s. She sits upright in about 60-75 feet of water with her stem post rising 30 feet off the bottom, marked by a seasonal mooring buoy. Regularly documented by sanctuary archaeologists, she is one of the area's most popular intermediate-level wreck dives.
