As a child (1980's) I remember exploring the chart wreck site in the cove on Hewett Island Maine in Penobscot bay. My sister, father and I took the dinghy and some snorkeling gear over to the site and "discovered" two hulks-mostly ribs and stem but one being decently intact- in 8-15' of water ( I can't remember the tide). Weeks later we excitedly looked up the history of the two vessels with my late grandfather. All that I recall is that they were abandoned, of late 1800's vintage and I think that one was a barque and the other a schooner. Coming across this site rekindled my interest but I have been unable to find any information on the internet.

I live in Rockland and have not heard of Hewett Island. Where in Penobscot bay is Hewett island? Just curious, Thanks.
