I was out diving with Steve Lawson and Chris Gilmartin on their boat a couple weeks ago. We were checking out some targets that Steve had and the first one turned out to be a VERY large barge. I would estimate 200+ feet long. It is wooden and has been down for quite some time. As far as we know, nobody else has dived it. It has a ton of fish including some very large ling cod. Very little fishing tackle so I'm guessing the fishermen don't really know about it. ID will likely be impossible and not on the priority list.
However, it was a fun dive to find something new and poke around a bit. The visibility was really amazing at depth. Probably 40-50+ feet. Pictures and the story are posted below:
