MARY ARNOLD

The 70 foot Mary Arnold was a wood hulled tugboat. On November 23, 1940 she was en-route from Greenwich CT to Riverside RI and towing two barges. One of the barges was a lighter and the other a dredge called Progress. While navigating through a story sea the Progress started to leak. The barge eventually capsized throwing her crew into the frigid water. The Mary Arnold turned to rescue the men. They were successful in retrieving three of the four men from the sea. Unfortunately, the tug had also hit the Progress and was now also leaking. Only a short time latter the men had to once again abandon ship. This time onto the only barge still afloat.

Today the Mary Arnold can be found scattered in 55 feet of water. The barge Progress sits only 100yards away.
