26' Century in Paugus

Diver1111 · 06-04-2014, 09:48 PM

Plus or minus 26' long in about 27 feet of water; Found it while looking for something else in Paugus; Neat old wreck near the culvert. Scuttled.

Sonar image available another day that I'll take when I go back with the EdgeTech side-scan, as I was diving not scanning when I saw it on the Humminbird side-scan.

Nice shot of the port side rubber footpad that clearly shows "Century" at the 5:23 mark of the video.

At some point in the 60's? or 70's? the Marine Patrol had several Ravens which was their "boat of choice"... very distinctive look!

In the movie On Golden Pond, the mailboat "MARIAH" was a raven. Here is a cool video of it running on Lake Hopatcong here in NJ in 2012 after being restored there by Katz Marina along with the "THAYER IV" from the movie.

Both boats were found in all original but poor condition in a barn in Mass. in 2010.

Sad to see boats disposed of that way. I wonder if it was insured.

What's that in the bag at 2:43? Looks like a mummy.

I will check it out thanks for bringing that to my attention; perhaps someone can dive it soon and let us know.
