Salem Wrecks & Nuclear Power Plant

In case you didn't watch the whole video, you can't actually go here or fly a drone without permission from the power company.

An old postcard of the power plant with the ferry Elizabeth in the foreground, inside the breakwater. Elizabeth was later sunk in the Cape May Artificial Reef.

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.
