HEROINE

On June 18, 1920 the steam powered fishing trawler Heroine was fishing in Block Island Sound. The trawler started to leak. Although her pumps were started in an attempt to keep up with the in rushing water, it was soon apparent that the ship was doomed. Her crew took to her lifeboats and all survived the accident.

Today the remains of the Heroine can be found in 75 feet of water. According to Capt Eric Takakjian this wreck holds an abundance of marine life. She lies on her starboard side and divers can still find an anchor, boiler and condenser on the site. Average visibility ranges from 20 to 30 feet.
