The opportunity was seized this afternoon to answer a question that has probably occurred to many Club members. How long is the Barge that we visit so frequently from the Marine Museum? Dianne, Chris, Malcolm and I settled the matter this afternoon. The numbers; length 94 feet, breadth 28 feet and height of the gunwales off the bottom - just 6 feet. The wreck also lies on a magnetic bearing of 60 / 240.
The temperature of the water - 39F (4C) - and visibility about 35 feet. On a weekend that saw many boaters launch their vessels, it was noticeable that the sounds of engines were occasionally audible during the dive. A potential hazard that we would all be wise to consider in our dive planning from now on.
