Shipwreck Francis A Perkins

Type:: shipwreck, schooner, pilot boat, USA
Built:: 1876, New York, USA
Specs:: ( 78 x 20 ft ) 52 tons, 9 crew
Sunk:: Monday January 24, 1887
ran aground - 2 casualties
Depth:: 80 ft

This tiny wreck produced a number of fine artifacts when first discovered. I am doubtful of the plotted location since it does not match up with the reported depth. In any case, the vessel must have drifted considerably from where it grounded before finally settling in deep water.

River & Inlet

These fishes are most likely to be found on or near the bottom in the rivers and inlets, either resting or swimming around. In addition, many of the types more often found out at sea may be found in the rivers and inlets. In addition, many tropical fishes may be found here as well.

Many of the types presented here are representative of entire families of similar related species. While some are closely related, others are not. These particular species are the most common in our area.
