sorry, i meant the one off Little Barndoor, on the Wolfeboro Bay side. Bizer says rowboat in 14 feet of water.

You can snorkel the one off Steamboat Isle.

I have been snorkeling a barge in the Scamp area of Paugus Bay for maybe 30 years. Three generations of my family have enjoyed it. It is only about 15' off shore and used to have a crooked white birch tree marking it. That tree is no longer there.

I'm 6'5" and I can stand on one of the corners of the barge and my head is out of the water. The deep end may be in 18' of water. Lots of fish, it is a great barge to snorkel.

So I don't really know if "my" barge is the Scamp or not, but it is fun to snorkel. I will post the lat/lons next time I go.

I've scouted the area (from the surface) and have never been able to find it.

I've known about this wreck for a few years but only got around to diving it today:
W. Little Bear Island wreck
N 43 38.448 W 71 19.850

GPS numbers are spot on. I dropped my marker flag 4 feet from the wreck.
Measured it at 24 feet in length with my marked wreck reel line.
It's on a slope with the bow in 37 feet and the stern in 35 feet.
Today at 37 feet it was 54 degrees.
It is a neat wreck, burned, very deep hold area. The engine, prop & rudder are still there.
