Wreck of the Romance
The Romance (4223.540 x 7051.490) is located in 54 feet of water and a little northeast of the BG buoy (4223.450 x 7051.470). She was a 245 foot wooden steamer that made regular trips from Boston, MA to Providence, RI. One foggy night on September 10, 1936 she was entering the Boston Harbor approach at Presidents Roads when she was hit on the port side just aft of amidships by the much larger outgoing steamer New York. Shortly after her sinking, part of the superstructure broke free and eventually washed up on Winthrop Beach leaving the hull and machinery at its present location. Readings fluctuate between GPS and Loran units therefore you will have to use your depth sounder to aid in locating any wreck.
The links to the left provide current marine and local Massachusetts weather reports, extended local Massachusetts weather reports, tide charts (Boston, Massachusetts) and the US Coast Guard Navigation Center, featuring GPS information, DGPS sites (which are a must for anyone with a differential GPS), LORAN-C information, Local Notice to Mariners plus a boat load of miscellaneous navigational links and my Site Map. Although most of the links to the left provide local Massachusetts information, my out of state visitors can also find nationwide marine and weather information.
The links to the right have my Boating, Fishing, Knot Tying (fishing and boating knot tying instructions with pictures and some animations), Fish Filleting and Tackle Tips pages. My Saltwater Fish Species Page has color pictures of the most popular saltwater fish caught off the Massachusetts coast along with information such as their reproduction, habitat, food they eat, fishing season, saltwater angling tips, handling and cooking. Following those are my Search Engine pages, one with short descriptions and another in a table form, plus my Research Page. Last but not least, is my Doll House Gallery featuring the Farmhouse and The Garfield! These keep me busy in the winter.
This page is best viewed at a resolution of 800 x 600.
As you visit my pages you will notice I love animation. Feel free to copy any of the animations.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are having trouble locating marine, boating, saltwater fishing, tackle information or have any questions!
