E-S - 140 Ft

The Brian C tug was lost in a storm on November 13, 1979, 40 miles off Cape May.  A dramatic rescue was made by a Coast Guard helicopter crew and rescue divers as she slipped beneath the waves.  Built in 1948, the original name John Cushman was changed with a transfer of ownership in the seventies.  Brian C was the object of a search by Atlantic Divers and Captain Bob Miembresse of the Down Deep out of Cape May in the early 90's, when another historic wreck was discovered the Montgomery (Max's Wreck).  The tug was found and dived the following year.
