The British used them to raid ports and shipping on the lake in late July. During the winter of 1813-1814, Macdonough began the construction of a bigger squadron here at Vergennes, Vermont, several miles up the Otter Creek from Lake Champlain. Vergennes had an iron foundry that could supply spikes, bolts, and shot, water-powered sawmills, and the surrounding forests were filled with white oak and pine for ship timber. The Navy Department hired New York shipwright Noah Brown to direct the building. Saratoga , in just 40 days. Brown and Macdonough also commandeered an unfinished steamboat and completed it as the 17-gun schooner Ticonderoga Finally, Brown built six 75-foot-long (22.86 m) row galleys or gunboats, each rigged with two lateen sails and armed with two cannon. Macdonough commanded the lake through the summer of 1814, but word that the British were building a frigate at Isle aux Noix led to the construction of one additional warship for the U.S. Navy squadron. On July 23 two hundred shipwrights under the direction of Adam Brown (brother of Noah) laid the keel for a 20-gun brig at Vergennes.

    Extractions: PART 2: THE EASTERN LIZARD Concluding our survey of wreck sites off the Lizard Peninsula, in Cornwall, we look at wrecks along the coastline from Cadgwith to the Helford Estuary, nine miles further north. (With additional diving details from Kevin Heath) In spring and summer sunshine, the coast of the Lizard, daubed here and there with brilliant yellow gorse, is a lovely place. Yet people sometimes say that they feel a brooding sense of menace despite this glorious scenery. Perhaps old Celtic gods still lurk in the valleys of the well-wooded Lizard East. Or perhaps, in the case of divers, they are simply suffering from a surfeit of wrecks! The launch site for many of the wrecks off the eastern Lizard is Cadgwith , a village of thatched cottages which has been squeezed into a valley leading down to a shingle cove where fishing boats are beached. Launching is difficult here, suitable more for small inflatables than big RIBs. Take care to keep out of the fishermen's way - everyone who lives in the village seems to be a fisherman! Car parking is on the outskirts of the village, 2 minutes' walk from the cove.

    Extractions: Split Screen Top of Page Dive Sites Marine Biology ... Contents Most people think of artifacts as small items of historical and sometimes monetary value that can be found, recovered, restored, and displayed. Artifacts like this include glassware, china and porcelain brass portholes , coins, fasteners, and many other items that were either part of a sunken vessel's construction, carried as cargo or personal belongings, or simply dumped as garbage. However, in a broader sense, any man-made object in the ocean is an artifact, whether you can pocket it or not. The sunken ships and barges that we dive on are artifacts themselves. While the sea quickly destroys many features of a sunken ship, there are a number of significant components of the hull, drivetrain, and ground tackle that survive to this day, and are often still identifiable, if you know what you are looking at. Anatomy of a shipwreck - the Delaware Many people don't seem to know what they are looking at. They swim over a bunch of lumps, a high spot here, some kind of thing over there, and maybe find a propeller , but never really know what the pieces are or what they were used for. Being able to identify the basic parts of a ship(wreck) can tell you not only about the history of the site, but is also invaluable in underwater navigation. The basic construction of a vessel's hull, be it

Visualise then the heights these landscapes can raise in the soul and the imagination, by wandering amongst these same beaches on a blustery winter's evening; with the rough Atlantic Ocean pounding on the bay and the wind swirling the damp sand around the wrecks of ancient Spanish galleons; their bones silhouetted against a dusky, perhaps moonlit sky. On such occasions, standing close to one of these sentinels of the past, with hands embracing the rough timber carcass of the 'Helvetia' at Rhossili Bay, for example, one can almost hear the cries of its crew as the vessel veered toward its doom on a stormy night over 100 years ago.

Basically it would take me far too long. So, I'll cover some of the more popular wrecks. I've been to most of them, and actually published articles on the Material Service Barge and the David Dows. I stopped writing them because the pay was, well, let's say I would have made more money per hour working at a hot dog stand. The following wrecks are include the better known destinations in the area, as well as some of the lesser known. I should also mention that visibility is the best it has been in 15 years. Those Zebra Mussels (ecological nightmare that they are) that invaded the Great Lakes have been acting like little vacuums, sucking up the micro-organisms that were causing poor vis in Lake Michigan. The result is clarity (as we define it). So the lake may die in a decade or so - or so the scientists thought. Now they are thinking differently. Only time will tell. If you are not from the area, you will need the appropriate equipment for cold water diving. The surface temp of Lake Michigan can reach 72 degrees in the mid summer. The thermoclines (you'll encounter one to three on most wrecks) are another matter. The first kicks in at around 25'. It's a whopper - you can see and FEEL it. A 1/4" wet suit, with hood and boots is a must. Use of reef gloves at a minimum. Many wrecks have metal cable that is rusting and fraying with age, and can cause Sea Urchin type wounds - complete with little wires stuck in your skin!

    Packet by Eric Hause. The Entire NC Coast Graveyard of the Atlantic.shipwrecks. The first recorded shipwreck along the North Carolina  
    http://www.coastalguide.com/packet/shipwrecks01.htm
    
    Extractions: The first recorded shipwreck along the North Carolina coast took place in 1585, when one of John White’s flagships, the Tyger , wrecked at Ocracoke Inlet. In the 400 years since, historians estimate that over 1,000 ships have been lost along the coast, earning the treacherous waters the nickname "The Graveyard of the Atlantic." Mariners still dread the trinity of capes that characterize North Carolina's coast: Cape Hatteras, Cape Lookout, and the aptly named Cape Fear. Like the points on a net, the capes arc far into the Atlantic, with submerged shoals extending even further. Geography combines with weather and circumstance to create a dangerous situation for mariners. The Gulf Stream, long used as an ocean highway from the Caribbean to Europe, comes perilously close to the Carolina coast. At Cape Hatteras, it brushes the cold Labrador Current, which runs parallel to the shore from northern climates. The resulting clash of waters creates the deadly Diamond Shoals, which extend 20 miles to sea and is only a few feet deep in places. Add the astonishing frequency of hurricanes and winter nor'easters that occur here, and the recipe for disaster is complete. Many famous wrecks and near-misses have occurred along the Carolina islands, some of them resulting in political and social change. In 1790, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, himself the victim of a close encounter off Cape Hatteras as a child, ordered the construction of the first lighthouse there.

    Extractions: Barque Wallace The Brig Glide Whenever a wreck went unidentified people's natural instincts were to choose the most interesting explanation. In September 1855, a fully rigged brig was discovered sunk on the breaker to the southwest of Yellow Murr Ledge, Grand Manan. There was no crew. The vessel went unidentified for quite some time. The vessel was painted black and rumoured to be the pirate ship Gloria , known for her odd color. However, in the 1960s an underwater archaeologist positively identified the brig as the Glide On her way up the Bay of Fundy, on Sept. 1, 1885, the Glide hit bad weather and during the early afternoon southwest winds strengthened to a gale. Fog shut in. The Glide was completely dependent on the dead reckoning of her captain. Captain Ellis never supposed his ship had strayed so far off the course enroute from Halifax to Windsor. He never made sufficient allowance for the extent the strong winds had blown his vessel to the north. A fatal error in reckoning. In the thick fog, the captain assumed he had struck a ledge off Nova Scotia. He ordered all hands into the lifeboat, gathered up the ship's papers, then left the wreck thinking they would soon make the Nova Scotia shore. As they pulled in their oars past the light at Gannet Rock, they could have no idea they were rowing straight to their deaths. Once out in the open Bay, their small boat would be swamped and all hands lost. Like so many who had ended their lives in these waters, they remain nameless and unknown.
