Mixed-up Wrecks

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

According to Gary Gentile in his book Shipwrecks of New Jersey - South, the following three vessels and four known wrecks may be related as suggested here. Or it could be something else entirely.
