21 Guns sailboat wreck

Capt Forrest Packebush   Mar 01, 2025

 This is one of a number of wreck dive sites in the entire lake.  The XXI Gun sunk a number of years ago, she has been preserved very well in the deeper fresh waters.  She ran aground due to the operator being newer to the lake and was unaware of the changing water levels, ran the portside (left) into the rocky structure below the surface.  She has a large gash in her portside hull mid ship.  Where she came to rest on the bottom, she was visible from the surface during low water level at about 30' depth. She was later disturbed by another group of divers who raised her and towed her to her final resting place mid lake.  The wreck is a 28' Pearson. Lots of aquatic life that live on and around it that call it their home.  Depths here typically range from 40' to 150' depending on the seasonal lake levels.
