Jones Inlet Wreck

Type:
shipwreck, tugboat?
Depth:
20 ft

We do not know much about this little wreck. She sits in only 15-20 feet of water just outside the western edge of Jones Inlet. In fact, when the wind is howling out of the east this wreck is actually protected or in the lee from Jones Inlets long East Jetty. The tug is broken down and partly buried. She appears to be a vessel from the late 1800s.

Wooden Ship Framing
Wooden Ship Framing

Wooden ships have been constructed for thousands of years. Around the world, many different construction techniques have been used, some of them quite extraordinary. The ancient Greeks stitched the planks of their warships together edgewise to form an extremely light frameless load-bearing shell, much like a modern airplane fuselage. However, most wooden ships are built using a basic framing system that has changed little over the centuries.
