Do you mean Doxie Girl? I'd be curious too
COORDINATES: 27092.1, 41462.8
The final resting spot of the Doxie Girl, a commercial fishing boat, is offshore the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay sitting upright in 65' of water. Owned by Bob Doxie, of the Long Island Sea Clam Corporation out of Long Island, New York, at the time the vessel was leased to Bruce Iverson of Oyster, Virginia. The Doxie Girl sunk in a storm the evening of Sunday, 16 March, 1975. Four of the crew perished in the accident, including Captain Iverson and two employees of Bob Doxie, who is emotional to this day over the loss.
The wreck is intact and provides lots of relief. Similar to the Gulf Hustler, though instead of being covered in a layer of mussels the Girl is covered by a thick brown algae growth. There is netting wrapped around the bronze prop, which is half buried. Large tautog and black sea bass are abundant here due to the lack of visiting divers.

Hello everyone I am Captain Bruce Iverson's step daughter! My mother married him on December 27,1974 . She was pregnant with his daughter Christy Iverson born April 10,1975. My biological father Captain Edward Lewis of Chesapeake Diving Service's has been down and retrieved a few things for my sister and mother!! There was 3 other men on the boat that night 2 were from up north and the 3rd man was from Oyster Virginia his wife and my mother are first cousins!! But anyway it still brings us all to tears after so many year's.. from what I am told from my father it's a great dive!!
