New Jersey Scuba Diving

Francis A Perkins

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.

Shipwreck Francis A Perkins
Type:
shipwreck, schooner, pilot boat, USA
Built:
1876, New York, USA
Specs:
( 78 x 20 ft ) 52 tons, 9 crew
Sunk:
Monday January 24, 1887
ran aground - 2 casualties
Depth:
80 ft

This tiny wreck produced a number of fine artifacts when first discovered. I am doubtful of the plotted location since it does not match up with the reported depth. In any case, the vessel must have drifted considerably from where it grounded before finally settling in deep water.

Submarine

USS Blenny reef
World War II - USS Blenny SS-324 - 312 ft, 1,810 tons, 8 knots submerged

Everyone knows what a submarine is - a ship that can go underwater. Hardly needs any explanation. Unless you're in the US Navy. By the Navy definition, only their modern, nuclear-powered boats ( all submarines are called "boats" ) are true submarines, designed to operate beneath the surface almost indefinitely. Anything else is merely a "submersible", tied to the surface by the need for fuel and air. Whatever.
