Shipwreck Spring Lake Sailor

Type:
shipwreck, schooner barge
Depth:
75 ft

A large sailing ship, just north of the Sea Girt Reef in 73 feet. Very low-lying. Wreckage consists of three sets of wood walls with some decking. Deep holes for lobsters. Very hard to find and hook. A nice spot for six lobster divers or a small cadre of artifact hunters. Probably over 100 years old. Some brass odds and ends over the years have been found, with some bottles and china, but I suspect she was largely stripped and sank.

paddlewheel

The paddlewheel predates even the steam engine. Horse-driven paddlewheel ferries have been in use for hundreds of years. Compared to screw-type propellers, the design and construction of a paddlewheel is much simpler, and therefore they remained the dominant method of propulsion through the mid-1800s, with some examples remaining in use until after World War II.
