The Wenona suggestion below, at least for me, casts serious doubts on the other reports here because I have a photo of the Wenona lying HIGH and DRY on the beach at McLain State Park (just east of the entry) with local citizens standing on her gunwales. Local papers had a lot of information making it very clear that she was left on the beach. In fact, her bones were visible on the beach into the 1970s! This is the problem with making speculative statements about possible remains based solely on dive accounts. It is always necessary to first have accurate historical info.
: Dive tip:
: One other strange wreck of no importance is the WENONA, shallow, you might be able to see it from the surface at high noon.
: Located at 8970-319331-465636, and for reference, it is therefore just located a "shot" distance from the Maplehurst.
: Electronic Nav. notice: Sitex EZ-97, with 25 foot location accuracy. steve
