20' Wooden Barge Wreck (LU001), Lake Union, Seattle, WA — main photo

Overview

Shipwreck City Data

This target has been classified as a wood barge wreck, resting in 35 feet of water and measuring roughly 20 feet by 12 feet. The barge wreck rests upright on the lakebed and retains much of its overall hull form, though portions of the structure are obscured by extensive aquatic growth and fishing netting. Visible features include three rows of upright structural members extending along the length of the wreck, exposed ribs, sections of outer hull planking, and a large opening in the hull. We are unable to determine what is visible within the interior.
