Shipwreck Macedonia
I found this old painting labeled "Macedonia" and "1894". This certainly could be the same ship. Another Macedonia enters the records in 1900, just a year after this one was lost.

( at time of loss chartered to Ward Lines, see Mohawk )
Name:
Macedonia is a region in the southern Balkans, adjoining Greece, and formerly part of Yugoslavia.
Built:
1894, England
Specs:
( 280 x 41 ft ) 2268 gross tons, 19 passengers & crew
Sunk:
Tuesday June 13, 1899
collision with liner Hamilton ( 3127 tons) - 1 casualty
GPS:
40°21.418' -73°56.153' (AWOIS 1991)
Depth:
60 ft

Shipwreck Rickseckers
Type:
shipwreck, steamer
Depth:
66 ft

This is the remains of an unidentified vessel which we located in August of 1986. She appears to be an old paddlewheel steamship, but this is only speculation and has yet to be confirmed. The only artifact I've found on this little wreck was a perfume bottle with the name "Rickseckers Perfume" on it, hence the name, Rickseckers.


Carp

Cyprinus carpio

Size
to 36"
( record over 6 ft )

Description
A heavy-bodied, laterally compressed minnow with a long dorsal fin and arched back. The first ray of the dorsal and anal fins is a stout, serrated spine. The small triangular head tapers to a blunt snout. The small, protrusible mouth contains no teeth and is located below the snout. There are two pairs of barbels on the upper jaw. Body color is brassy green on top grading to bronze or gold on sides. The belly is yellowish-white. Fins typically are yellow, orange, golden, or light olive in color. The wild type of common carp is completely covered with large, round scales. Mirror carp has a few very large scales scattered over the body and leather carp are virtually scaleless.
