The wheels of the car, a late model Oldsmobile, were indisputably protruding above water at low tide.  This rendered absurd Ted Kennedy's account of the incident, as explained here:

{{cquote|High tide at Edgartown that night came at 3:54 A.M., and its rise and fall is only 2 feet. The accident, if it occurred around 11:30 P.M., came at about two hours after low tide, and therefore there could not have been much more than 4 feet of water, and perhaps less, at the point where the car lay. The bottom is presumably sandy, since the entire island is made of sand. Senator Kennedy gave credit to Messrs. Markham and Gargan for having "dived" at "risk to their lives" in an attempt to reach Miss Kopechne. It would be more appropriate to refer to wading and stooping.<ref>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5270948/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv</ref>}}
