A typical example of a Wanchese style trawler, The Lois Joyce didn't quite make it home to Wanchese during a storm in 1982. The wreck was originally much closer to the beach than where she is today, due to the changing shore line. The wreck is laying on it side in 15 to 20 feet of water with the highest relief coming up to within 5 feet of the surface. The outriggers of the wreck used to stand clear of the surface at low tide and the wreck was buoyed at both ends earlier in the 2009 season.
