Not much to see aside from long hull. Cool old wreck, but emphasis on the old (and shallow).

My divelog shows that the bow is in 22 feet and the stern is in 40 feet.

Horsebarge
 
Dangerous dive because the Mount stops right there-if you were down when she comes in she will be right overhead most of the time or really really close to it; Bad news. If they see a flag they will likely abort landing because of divers-imagine the rest. Plus other private boat traffic there at the landing.

If you must dive, think about diving at an angle from shallow water starting from the right of all docks there (as you look at the docks from the water); Use a wreck reel all the way out and back.

Lastly you must check the schedule of the Mount and the mail boat(s)(Sophie?)-that's the best defense besides the advice herein. It can be done but you need to think it through in a big way. And try it during the week not a weekend.

This is advice not a warranty. Please plan your own method carefully. Or take a pass altogether on this site.
