The Raleigh is a 235′ Steamer, sitting on the bottom in 25-30’. The Raleigh has a lot to look at, including a pair of boilers, anchor
chain and windlass, propeller, engine room anchor, driveshaft and of course the scenic, yet broken remains of the ships hull.
The Finch is a 105′ long wooden tow barge built in Quebec City in 1871. The boat was undertow when it began to take on water in a
heavy storm. The wreck features much wreckage and is a great dive site with lots of fish life and great for navigation.
