Sure, come visit us here in New Jersey's "Wreck Valley" for a few older cruise ship wrecks...
Mohawk - Sunk by collision, January 25, 1935
The Mohawk was a passenger liner belonging to the Clyde-Mallory Lines. She was 5900 Gross tons, 387 ft long and 54 ft beam, and 23' draft. She was out-bound from New York carrying 54 passengers, 109 crew and 1200 tons of general cargo bound for Havana when she collided with the M/V Talisman, a freighter, also outbound. A steering malfunction is blamed. The Talisman survived, the Mohawk and 45 persons did not.
Just a few miles out of Manasquan Inlet (New Jersey), the remains of the Mohawk lie beneath 80 feet of water. The steel-hulled passenger ship, launched in October of 1925 by the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company, was 387' long, 54' in breadth, and listed at 5897 gross tons.
The Vizcaya
The Vizcay was rammed and sunk by the four-masted schooner, Cornelius Hargraves on October 30, 1890. Some Halloween! The Vizcaya was a passenger vessel using coal fired steam boilers. All but 12 of her sixty passengers and sailors died. The Vizcaya carried a general cargo of foodstuffs. She was outfitted for sail and steam and is a great artifact hunting dive. Her large boilers and huge engine are other only high spots of this low-lying wreckage. But skillful or lucky diggers can find portholes, silverware, china, bottles or deadeyes.
The Vizcaya is also known as the Spanish Steamer. She lies in 80 feet about 19 miles from Manasquan Inlet but less than 10 miles from Barnegat. Visibility is often excellent and averages 20-40 feet.
Both vessels sank after the collision and now lie less than 300 yards apart. Divers can make their first dive on the Vizcaya then visit the ship which sank her for their second dive.
