This is a 3D map of the bottom of Escambia Bay with the location of the wreck Rhoda marked. Click on the picture to enlarge it.

Position looks a little too close to shore to be " Rhoda" sure that's not the tug ? I thought Rhoda was about .5 miles NNW of the ranger station.

It is a good ways off shore. The flat areas are land. The rougher areas are under water.

Actually I believe its NNE of ranger station.

I compared your image to the "Florida Panhandle" US Chart, topography matches up and it would be about 800 meters out (0.5 miles) NNE Ranger station.

I once found some type of rubble just slightly east of Fort Pickens Campground, sometimes I would pull up small chunks of wood on my hook, anybody know anything about this site?

I dove the site in 2010 Field School with UWF...its a decent sized ballast pile with a little bit of exposed hull planking...some metal is sticking up around the main pile but otherwise it is primarily ballast...fun dive tho and in about 30ft. of water if I remember correctly! While we were diving a giant school of fish came thru so it definitely can attract sea life
