Shipwreck Northeast Sailor
Type:
shipwreck, sailing ship
Depth:
75 ft

The "Northeast Sailor" is the remains of a large sailing ship. The absence of towing bits is an indicator that this was probably not a schooner barge, while the presence of a boiler and steam machinery place the vessel in the mid to late nineteenth century.


Shipwreck Malta
As Queen of the South, with a steam engine
Type:
iron-hulled steamer, converted to sail
Built:
1852
Specs:
( 244 x 40 ft ) 1600 displacement tons, 24 crew
Sunk:
Saturday November 24, 1885
ran aground in bad weather - 1 casualty
Depth:
20 ft

Type:
shipwreck, steamer
Depth:
80 ft

A very small wreck, consisting of a primitive single-cylinder steam engine and a large, completely broken-down boiler. Odd pieces of pipe and machinery lie around, but no remains of a hull, although there appears to be some iron plating under the engine. Guessing from the technology, the construction would date to around 1860 +/- 10 years, and the sinking would have been sometime after that.

Manasquan Inlet
Low tide, winter.
Point Pleasant on the left /south
Manasquan on the right / north
Type:
tidal river inlet with stone jetties or bulkheads on both sides
Depth:
30 ft

This inlet has a long slightly L-shaped jetty on the north side and a longer straight jetty on the south side. Both jetties are made of large stones and concrete, and the ends are built out of man-made concrete "jacks", shaped like an H with a 90-degree twist in the middle.
