Holly Barge & Dredge Illinois

The Illinois was a tug guided sand dredge. There is a pile of plates and general wreckage mess including a large centrifugal pump lying at an oblique angle. A slightly spooky feel at night, simply because of the amount of wreckage and yet no life or seaweed around it. There is a newly sunk barge nearby (the Holly Barge), sunk specifically for divers. This wreck is upright and in excellent condition. It is possible to penetrate inside.
