Baleen

The Baleen was towing a barge in 1975 when a fire broke out on board . She was built in 1923 in Wisconsin, and was a steel-hulled ship 102 ft. in length with a 23 ft. beam. There were no fatalities associated with the sinking.

.

Today the Baleen rests sitting upright, listing slightly starboard in 170 FSW, with the top of the deckhouse at approximately 150 FSW.

We had great conditions on the wreck, and it is a quintessential New England shipwreck, covered in brightly colored anemones.
