This is really interesting.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but considering what you posted, are you saying that these are the pieces of what was once a barge? And that this barge is fairly close to the Weirs Beach area? We just bought two new toys (snow machine & camper to put on our land in Ossipee) but now I want to start Scuba Diving! LOL.

Yes, it is most definitely a barge -- mainly intact, and it only looks like "pieces" from the photos. If you view Diver111's video in another post, you can get a better feel for it. It's long.

Regarding the car in Melvin Bay, it was Senter Cove Guy who located it. He'd heard about it as a kid many, many years ago and did some research before spending a lot of time looking for it. Since the time he located it, a number of "scavenger" divers have really messed it up -- trashing it more in a few years than the elements did since 1937. What a shame.
