Site Description: The Hopkins is in the best condition compared to the other wrecks of the TCRT Express boats. The hull is intact and upright. The cabin window framing, bitts, and parts of benches still exist and the stack is stuck into one of the openings in the deck. Visibility is best under the ice and early spring. During the season high speed recreational boat traffic makes the site somewhat risky to dive.
