About W C Richardson (Wreck)
WC Richardson is a broken-up iron freighter wreck with a main guideline that runs more than 400 feet along the site. The wreck lies in about 35 feet of water and is typically dived by following the installed line system. Because the wreck sits in a shipping channel, divers are instructed not to use a float and flag and to anchor the boat at the channel border, using a tag-line to connect the ascent/descent line to the main guideline.
