Artifact Condition: |
Barge is in serious decay. One end has heavy debris beyond the barge's walls where possibly a living and conning structure was attached. The barge walls have a number of upright supports spaced around it, as well as a number on the interior deck. One end has a large boiler on the deck which does not appear to be a part of the vessel. |

Additional Information: |
The initial discovery dive did not survey the wreck site as visibility was poor and the point of contact on the barge hazardous. A more complete survey was conducted on the second visit to this site. |
