BALEANA

This wreck is a wooden collier lying on the fringe of an area known as the “Mud Hole.” Maximum depth of this wreck is 165’ and comes to within 150’ of the surface at its’ highest point. Visibility varies but averages about 20’. The Baleana has yielded some respectable size lobsters and artifacts typical of old wooden sailing vessels.

COIMBRA

A very popular wreck amongst the deep diving community. A tanker which fell victim to the torpedoes of a German U-boat lies in 180’ of water 25 miles south of Shinnecock Inlet. Still leaking oil from its’ cargo holds the wreck comes 40’ off the bottom at its’ highest point of relief. Visibility ranges from 20’ to 60’ on average. Beware of fuel oil pockets. I’ve seen divers get out of the water looking like fugitives from a minstrel show.

RP RESOR

Another tanker which fell victim to the German subs. The Resor burned for several days before finally sinking in 124 feet of water. The wreck is located 52 miles south of Jones Inlet and is home to a significant lobster population. Some of the biggest cod fish I’ve ever seen have inhabited the wreck along with some impressive scallops that show up from time to time. The stern of the wreck is relatively intact and hosts a 6” deck gun. Visibility ranges between 20’ and 40’ on average.
