Yes, that was us out in the middle of Paugus Bay kinda just opposite Christmas and Plummer Islands.

One thing I found odd was that there appeared to be 2 or 3 lengths of rope tied to the front cleat in the middle of the bow. I wonder if this boat was being towed and took on water and sank. It's amazing how so many boats we have dived that sink to deep depths and still land upright. That's good for us divers.

Speaking of upright, how about those neatly stacked sand bags on the deck of the Alton barge? I still scratch my head over that one...

41F bottom temp...and you were rocking the Henderson? Brrrr. We had 45 at the bottom down here this past weekend, and I was a little cold on both dives.

2nd filming of this vessel done recently-this time with an ROV. 1st time was w/a GoPro. Extremely difficult conditions due to snow-storm-like particulate in the water column.

Ink-black at this depth (about 86 feet) to begin with-no ambient light. All-in-all this is still a much better clip than what I got when I dove it with the GoPro and Senter Cove Guy a while back.

The light you do see illuminating the wreck is entirely from the ROV lights.

I also have found that when I post to YouTube the video quality is not what I had to begin with in the original clip. I'm losing something when I upload and don't know why. Sorry it's difficult to watch but it gives you an idea of just how tough conditions can be in Winnipesaukee.

What I'd like to know is why the steering wheel is nearly horizontal and located on the left side of the helm. Any input appreciated.

Very cool video. It is strange to see the two new trash barrels and what looks like a chair right up next to the hull.
Definitely a strange seating position that I have never seen before.

Great video, the quality has to do with the software you are using to process/upload. Check out this link for the settings you should use, I haven't done this in a while, but when I used to up load videos I would use cyberlink powerdirector to edit and process them.

Hans, here is a good candidate for this boat, although it has obviously been modified. It's a 26 foot Naval Utility boat with the rounded stern and the helm on the port side.

Thanks Tallyho-great stuff; closest thing I've seen yet as to what this vessel really is.

Info you linked to indicates those were made of wood-not sure what this is made of but I am strongly inclined to think it's not wood.

You got the left hand steering wheel though.
