USS Delaware

[mxracer19]

Delaware: The Delaware was a coastal steamship. Her route was New York to Havana. She carried general cargo and passengers, and was appoximately 1,600 tons and 250 feet long. On a trip out of New York she caught fire and burned to the waterline, and later sank while being towed by salvagers. The wooden remains of her hull are good for lobster hunting and looking for artifacts. The wreck lies one and half miles off Bayhead, about 3 miles from Manasquan Inlet. Some say she carried large payroll, which never been recovered, and therefore she is therefore listed as being a treasure ship. Depth: 75 feet. Beginner to intermediate dive. Average visibility: 10 to 20 feet.
