HENDERSON â Speculation surrounds a piece of wreckage sitting below the depths in Ray Bay.
Though one diver believes the piece is from the Martha Ogden steamer, which sank in 1832, others disagree.
In early September of last year, after one of Daniel J. Gildeaâs friends mentioned to him that his anchor had gotten stuck on something wooden that appeared to be a dock, he went out to look for himself in the Ray Bay area. He eventually came in contact with what appears to be a side of a wooden vessel.
Hoping to preserve the site and deter others from diving down until scans could be done, Mr. Gildea was not forthcoming at first with the correct location of the wreck. He previously identified it to both the Times and another local diver who was set to scan the site as being in Henderson Bay, when it in fact lies at the bottom of Ray Bay.
