This is a really interesting and spooky wreck that I got to dive last Friday.

The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum (LCMM) calls it the "The Mule Wreck" (Wreck EE) due to the large presence of animal bones (mule, horse or cow?) on the deck.

It's a large standard canal boat in approximately 185-190ffw and it's in pristine condition. Note: I tried very hard not to disturb the wreck but I did pick up a few animal bones to remove silt deposits in order to help better identify the bones for archeologist review.
