W - 90 Ft

This large, 185 foot ocean-going tug that sank due to a collision with the Bainderant in 1947.  The Great Isaac sits in 90 feet of water and is intact lying on its port (left) side. The Great Isaac was a part of the Normandy beach invasion and the captain at the time received a bronze start for meritorious duty under fire.  It's sunk about halfway into the sandy bottom and it's rapidly deteriorating.  Artifacts are still abundant, since half the wreck is buried and washing out with more access areas.  Everywhere there are lobster and fish. Mussels can be scraped from the upper parts of the wreck and are, therefore, cleaner with less sand in them. The Great Isaac is skeletal and now has many new entrances due to the corrosive effects of nature allowing many new discoveries.
