Section D is a hull fragment wedged under Section G. It is probably from the Forest or from one of the smaller schooners that earlier wrecked at Pilot Island.

A large number of miscellaneous vessel elements surround the main wreckage. Immediately south of Section C lies a 25' long centerboard which very likely belongs to the Nichols .  West of the centerboard lies a fragment of the side of a vessel, Section M . The scantlings of this section relate most closely to the dimensions of the Forest (G) or may suggest the presence of a third, smaller vessel on the site.

North-northeast of the site lie two other vessel fragments, E1 and E2 . Section E1 is a 42' section of hull lying outboard down, while E2 is a 15' long section that consists of frame sets and planks. Though they could not be positively related to any other section, the dimensions of E1 are most similar to those exhibited by the Nichols , and the use of keyed scarphs were reported on this section as well. The room and space dimensions of E2 relate most closely to those of Section M and G, and may be additional remains of the Forest or a vessel of similar framing pattern.

In the vicinity of E1 and E2 lies a large cement mooring sinker marked "USLHS" clearly relating to the island's use by the United States Light House Service prior to its amalgamation into the U.S. Coast Guard. The block may have anchored a small boat mooring or a buoy.
