Site details

Shore-accessible remains of the British tramp steamer Wandby, which ran onto Walker's Point ledge in dense fog on March 9, 1921. The signature piece is an upright boiler roughly 15 feet around and 10-18 feet tall rising off a 25-30 foot sandy bottom, with a rudder, double-walled hull sections and scattered plates among ledge lines that run parallel to shore. The exposed site is effectively a single high-tide dive from a small seaside turn-out past the Bush compound.
