Great photo -- thanks for sharing.
Senter Cove Guy and I dove the Weirs barge a few weeks ago. It was my second time on the wreck, and I believe his third (at least). The one thing in this photo that seems to match the Weirs wreck is the winch-like structure at the bow, which is prominent, although lying down, on the Weirs wreck.
The Weirs wreck also has a very prominent boiler (?) which could be inside or below that wheel house. But that structure on the Weirs barge does not seem to be as close to the stern as it appear in the photo. Also -- the Weirs barge seems somewhat longer than this one, but it's hard to tell.
Thanks for digging this up. It would be great if there's another barge down there waiting to be discovered. Given the awful visibility in that area, it might be challenging (and that's where the side-scan sonar comes in handy!).
