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.

A large wooden wreck, with a massive central keel, and very low-lying side walls. Scattered large machinery, chain, and old-style anchor at the west end.

The Elizabeth Palmer (2,446 tons) sank in 1915 off Fenwick Island Delaware in a collision in which she sank a two-year-old steel-hulled steamer more than twice her size.

The wreck of the Estelle Phinney was demolished by the RC Mohawk.

The wreck was identified by Dan Lieb of the New Jersey Historical Divers Association.
