35' Bulwarks Boat Wreck (LU074), Lake Union, Seattle, WA — main photo

Overview

Shipwreck City Data

This target has been classified as a wood shipwreck, resting in 4 feet of water and measuring roughly 35 feet in length. The wreck is heavily collapsed and lies low against the lakebed, with much of the wooden structure broken apart and dispersed around the site. Visible features include sections of outer hull planking, exposed ribs and internal framing, long wooden structural members, and detached sections of planking lying across and alongside the wreck. Additional wooden material and other debris are present on and around the wreck, though we are unable to determine whether all of this material is associated with the original vessel. The collapsed condition of the wreck prevents a complete measurement of its overall dimensions.
