NOAA asked fishermen and boaters to steer clear of historic shipwrecks in a protected sanctuary off the coast of Massachusetts to preserve the underwater 'time capsules'
Some of the most fascinating, historic shipwrecks that lie on the ocean floor off the coast of Massachusetts need to be protected, so researchers can 'build upon successes' that started in 2019, federal authorities said this week.
' The final named wreck is the North Star, a 1967 rig dragger that sank on August 28, 2003, after it capsized. The two crew members aboard died. The vessel broke into three pieces when it sank. The hull was at the dive site's north end, the clam dredge fell about 100 feet away, and the deck machinery was found west of the dredge and still connected by its towing cable, according to NOAA.
