"two wooden pieces left"

Can't find any history on this one, not showing any ID numbers. The low wide hull has the look of a Chesapeake Bay oyster boat. The aft wheelhouse and wood construction make it pretty old. That's just me supposin'.

shipwreck SS Delaware engine

Steam Engines

Steam engines are a common sight on New Jersey shipwrecks. Usually the highest point of relief on the entire wreck, the engine makes a good orientation point and is often used as a tie-in as well. Old steam engines were quite sturdily constructed, and last a long time in the ocean, although because of their value they were salvaged when possible.

Right: The single-expansion steam engine of the Delaware, viewed over the top of one of the four boilers.
