This is "the" USS Massachusetts, a WWI ship sunk to create structure for
fish.

It is by that name on the official charts. They picked a really bad spot
for this one though. At low tide part of the hull is exposed and a warning
buoy is 50-75 yds away. I heard another boat went down a couple of years
ago, tore the back end of the boat off when they hit it.

You mention the Massachusetts. What kind of ship was it? I am curious!
