Charles P. Minch 3-masted schooner Depth: 20-50 feet |
Named after Philip Minch's son who died at 22 years of age. Built in 1967 lost in October 1898, when she was driven ashore and wrecked, later slid into deeper water. The wreck is broken up and spread over Tecumseh Cove, Cove Island. The main wreckage is found close to shore near the head of the cove. Of note are portions of two rudders. The second is likely from the schooner Tecumseh, wrecked in the area in 1882. A good site for all levels of experience. The Charles P. Minch had major repairs made to her in 1878 and 1880. |
