About Wings Of Wind Wreck

This was a Wooden Hulled Schooner built in 1855. She sank in May 1866 after she collided with The H. P. Baldwin. At this time, she was transporting a cargo of coal. She rests in shallow waters, making it a easy dive for all level divers. She is fairly intact and sits upright. Many fish surrounds her.
