She was built in 1863 and when she foundered, she had been converted from a schooner-barge to a tow-barge. The William Young was lost on October 5, 1891, while carrying a cargo of coal that still fills her holds.
The William Young has all of her fittings and gear intact, sitting upright in 120 ft/36.57 m depth of water.
