Sunken Fish Boat in Friday Harbor
February 11, 2010
Local Notices to Mariners reports Dangerous Wreck at 48°32'10"N / 123°00'31"W.
Plotted on large scale Chart 18434, the wreck is right in the middle of the channel between Brown Island and Friday Harbor, approximately 100 yards or so south of the Washington State Ferry dock. The wreck is an old fish boat that had been anchored for quite some time and a few years ago it sank. This past summer several pleasure boats fouled their anchors on the wreck. Tami Hayes, the marina manager at the Port of Friday Harbor, contacted the Coast Guard, who established the exact location and published the warning in Notices to Mariners.
Don’t anchor there.
