Florence
Florence Steam tug, 102' x 19'
x 13'. She sank on November 14, 1933 in some 80' of water off Timber Island with no loss of life. She presently lies in 40-50'
of water on a rock bottom with her hull torn apart, as attempts had been made by her owners to drag her ashore to salvage
her engines. One can view rock formations and often observe fish which have made this wreck their home.
