Description:
|
This author has no knowledge of the unknown wreck at site 19. Sites 20 & 21
include scattered wreckage from two unidentified ships. The most interesting
location is just offshore from the Black Point sign on the east of Cove Island.
To find the wreck, anchor at the edge of a rocky slope in 50' of water. Once in the water,
follow the rocky slope down to the edge of the silt and swim south until
you come to the arrow. Yes, I and my dive buddy have placed rocks on the bottom in the form of an
arrow pointing to the largest portion of the wreckage. Take a compass heading and
follow the direction of this arrow for about 50 feet and you will find a large
section of the hull. If you take a compass heading 90 degrees from your original
heading (south) and swim parallel to the rocky slope, you will find masts, a
rudder, a centreboard box and other pieces of scattered wreckage.
This is an excellent site particularly when strong westerly winds prevent
access to many other sites.
