Book Synopsis Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay and Other Tales of the Lost Chesapeake by : Donald G. Shomette
Book excerpt: New Jersey, a steamship that sank in the waters of the Chesapeake in 1870, is the subject of the first part of this absorbing narrative. The wreck became the scene of large-scale relic hunting, but also of cutting-edge technology. Events surrounding the exploration of the wreck were instrumental in the creation of the first state-sponsored underwater archaeology agency in Maryland.
