Geocache Description:


It's a Tugboat

Use caution as there are many sharp bits and submerged hazards.

A shallow draft boat such as a canoe or kayak is recommended.

You do not need to leave your boat for this cache.
The higher the tide, the shorter the reach.

If you've ever driven East on 695 toward the Key Bridge, I bet you've glanced down at Curtis Creek and seen this old wrecked tugboat. Time to get up-close and have a look!

I was not able to identify this tugboat by name, but I'm sure it has a long and storied history of service in Baltimore Harbor.

Original contents are a logbook, a personal Pathtag, and an unactivated golden nugget trackable for the first finder.

Where to launch
The most convenient free launch point I've found is at the end of Carbide Road. Parking coordinates are included in this listing. Park in the grassy area south of the American Legion building and outside their posted private property signs. This is a popular fisherman's launch with all the related character.

These ships are the property of the State of Maryland by federal law.
A permit is not required to inspect, study, explore, photograph, measure, record, conduct a reconnaissance survey, or otherwise use and enjoy a submerged archaeological historic property if the use or activity does not:
involve excavation, destruction, or substantive injury of the historic property or its immediate environment;
endanger other persons or property;
violate other regulations or provisions of federal, State, or local law.
