Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the hot summer sun, vacationers stroll the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk, chewing saltwater taffy and listening to the gulls raucous cackle. Few realize that under the sparkling water rests a graveyard. Horrific nor'easters, treacherous shoals and simple human error caused the demise of countless ships, giving birth to legends of treasure and terror. There is the De Braak, rumored to hold millions of dollars in gold; the Mohawk, which burned like a torch in the Delaware Bay; and the vessels that fell victim to the Great White Hurricane, which froze dead men to the mast. Journey with local author Pam George as she deftly picks her way through the history of Delaware's most intriguing and mysterious shipwrecks.

Book Synopsis Pirates & Patriots, Tales of the Delaware Coast by : Michael Morgan
Download or read book Pirates & Patriots, Tales of the Delaware Coast written by Michael Morgan and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Libraries, archives, and museums reveal clues to the colorful characters lining the history of Delaware, from its earliest colonial days to the invention of the "beach resort" and the founding of the nation's "Summer Capital" to World War II and the present. Author Michael Morgan brings together this kaleidoscopic view of the men of the sea and the beachfront tycoons who shaped Delaware and its role in the development of America, in war, politics, and business, from the Europeans' arrival at Cape Henlopen until modern times. While the intrepid patriot Henry Fisher and the infamous serial killer Patty Cannon are not known beyond the boundaries of southern Delaware, others such as William Penn, Captain Kidd and the DuPonts enjoy more widespread reputations. Here, tales of shipwrecks and rumrunners combine with the politics of slavery and suffrage to illuminate the history of one corner of the United States, a microcosm that synthesizes light on various facets of the development of the United States in a broader context. * Michael Morgan pens a weekly column, "Delaware Diary," in the Delaware Coast Press and has authored many stories for The Baltimore Sun, Maryland Magazine, Civil War Times Illustrated, America's Civil War and other periodicals for the past 15 years. He is a frequent guest speaker at historical societies in Lewes, Georgetown, and other towns along the Delaware coast.

Book Synopsis Notebook on Shipwrecks, Chesapeake Bay, 1800-1977 by : H. Richard Moale
Download or read book Notebook on Shipwrecks, Chesapeake Bay, 1800-1977 written by H. Richard Moale and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This notebook represents nearly thirty years of research into the history of wrecks in the Chesapeake Bay. The wrecks are listed both in alphabetical and chronological order from 1800 to 1977. It covers the area from the Virginia Capes at the entrance to the Bay on the south to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and headwaters to the north. The shipwrecks listed resulted from many causes including severe weather, collisions, fire, piloting error, unseaworthiness, and abandonment. A serious attempt was made to separate fact from fiction; newspaper accounts were checked against Coast Guard, Lighthouse Service and other government records. Other valuable research resources included the U.S. National Archives in Washington, D.C.; Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, Maryland; The Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia; Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine; The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data; scuba divers' logbooks and interviews with Bay water-men. Many photographs of vessels, interesting newspaper accounts, photocopies of Coast Guard wreck reports, and official documentation papers of vessels enhance the narrative. Important sources are provided for those wishing to continue research for the many vessels listed with "unknown" data. Like H. Richard Moale's previous book, Notebook on Shipwrecks: Maryland Delaware Coast, this book is based on data of record. The author even performed his own amateur archeological survey of the wrecks; personally diving, taking measurements and collecting data to prove identification.
Book Synopsis Hidden History of Maritime New Jersey by : Stephen D. Nagiewicz
Download or read book Hidden History of Maritime New Jersey written by Stephen D. Nagiewicz and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Weaves exciting tales with historical and diving facts, peppered with antique illustrations of ships and photographs of their remains” (Courier-Post). An estimated three thousand shipwrecks lie off the coast of New Jersey—but these icy waters hold more mysteries than sunken hulls. Ancient arrowheads found on the shoreline of Sandy Hook reveal Native American settlement before the land was flooded by melting glaciers. In 1854, 240 passengers of the New Era clipper ship met their fate off Deal Beach. Nobody knows what happened to two hydrogen bombs the United States Air Force lost near Atlantic City in 1957. Lessons from such tragic wrecks and dangerous missteps urged the development of safer ships and the US Coast Guard. Captain Stephen D. Nagiewicz uncovers curious tales of storms, heroism and oddities from New Jersey’s maritime past. Includes photos “Densely packed with information, from scuba diving basics to a look through the centuries at New Jersey history, via the ships that found their way to sandy depths.”—Press of Atlantic City “Capt. Steve Nagiewicz of Brick has come out with a book . . . that should be in every angler’s bookcase . . . There’s one fascinating account after another.” —The Star-Ledger
Book Synopsis Deadly Storms of the Delmarva Coast by : Michael Morgan
Download or read book Deadly Storms of the Delmarva Coast written by Michael Morgan and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal Delaware, Maryland and Virginia have always been vulnerable to the power of storms. In the early nineteenth century, storm-driven shipwrecks led to the construction of the Delaware breakwater. In 1933, a storm created an inlet on the south edge of Ocean City and changed the character of the Maryland resort. The Ash Wednesday nor'easter of 1962 devastated oceanfront communities, led to the creation of beach replenishment projects that pushed the ocean back from the new multimillion-dollar buildings that sat on the sand and spurred the creation of Assateague Island National Seashore. Michael Morgan narrates the stories of these storms and reminds us of the power of wind and water.

Book excerpt: On the first of September 1785, with night coming on and the weather deteriorating, the crew of the shipFaithful Stewardsailed toward Delaware's notorious False Cape. In the summer of 1785, a group of Irish migrants took to the Atlantic to escape the abuse and persecution of the ruling classes at home. They sought a new life in the United States, a place "where the banner of freedom waved proudly" and "every good was possessed." Their ship was new and sturdy, and its captain had a good reputation. On this voyage, however, it was overloaded with migrant families and a massive cargo of counterfeit coins. By the first of September the ship was lost, somewhere off the mid-Atlantic coast. Michael Timothy Dougherty tells the story of the wreck and the people on board.
