Jones Inlet
We do not know much about this little wreck. She sits in only 15-20 feet of water just outside the western edge of Jones Inlet. In fact, when the wind is howling out of the east this wreck is actually protected or in the lee from Jones Inlets long East Jetty. The tug is broken down and partly buried. She appears to be a vessel from the late 1800s.
-- Capt. Dan Berg
Copper, brass, and bronze are all relatively immune to saltwater corrosion. Brass artifacts of all sorts are easily cleaned up into shiny souvenirs for those who value them. Bright green copper sheets and tubes add color to many wrecks, while bronze is the material of choice for the most coveted of all diver's artifacts - a ship's bell.
Copper and some of its alloys have been used by humanity since the Bronze Age. One of the first metals known to humans, free copper was probably mined in the Tigris-Euphrates valley as long ago as the 5th century BC. Cyprus, from which the metal's name originally comes, was the primary source of copper in the ancient world.
