MURPHY WRECK

DIRECTIONS: (New Suffolk, Suffolk County)
Take the Long Island Expressway to Exit 73 East. This will be Old Country road. Continue until you get to the town of Cutchogue. Old Country will have changed names to Route 25, or Main Road. Make a right turn onto New Suffolk Road. Drive for one mile and make the first left on Old Harbor Road and take this to the end.

CONDITIONS:
Finding this wreck site is simple. Enter the water directly in front of Old Harbor Road and swim straight out for about 50 feet.

This unidentified wreck, called the Murphy is said to be that of an old wood-hulled, iron framed, pleasure craft probably sunk in the early 1900's. According to a local old timer, whom we met at the site one day, the Murphy was converted into a barge to haul potatoes. She was finally beached and stripped of her machinery when she was of no more use.

The scattered, seaweed-covered wreckage is spread over a large area. Although very shallow (only two to four feet at low tide), this dive should be of particular interest to artifact hunters. Brass spikes and copper nails are commonplace and have been recovered easily over the years by divers who have patience, a good eye for brass, or just plain good luck.
