Thanks for your recent email. The Miss Doxsee did not belong to my company, Doxsee Sea Clam Co. of Point Lookout, NY. If I remember right she was built by Eric Kirkberg of Wildwood, N.J. back in the 1960s. She was a stern rigged sea clam dredger that provided surf clams to Doxsee Foods which was then shucking and canning clams in Lewes, Delaware.

In those says their general offices were in Baltimore, MD. Today they operate in Cape May, NJ, and go by the corporate name of SNOWDOXSEE Inc. I'm not sure if Eric or Doxsee Co. owned the boat. Eric did operate it and the clams went to Doxsee. The clams were landed at Wildwood and went across the Delaware Bay to Lewes by trailer truck and ferry. That's about all I know about it.

Best regards,
Bob Doxsee

Scuba Cylinder Specifications

Here are some dimensions and specifications for scuba cylinders. This is by no means an exhaustive list. These numbers should be taken as approximate since equivalent tanks from different manufacturers will differ slightly. The two most common models - the Catalina aluminum 80 and Luxfer aluminum 80 - are highlighted, along with my favorite, the OMS LP steel 85.

  • Weight, full - this is what you will have to be able to lift, in and out of your car, around the dock, and up the boat ladder with all your other gear. Times two for doubles.
  • Weight, empty - this is pretty much irrelevant
  • Buoyancy, empty - this is what you need to weight yourself for, so that you can do a safe free stop at 20 feet at the end of your dive
  • Buoyancy, full - this is what your BC needs to be able to support when you jump in the water, otherwise you are a "dirt dart" heading straight for the bottom and disaster
