City of Houston: A 290 ft. long single engine steam ship. Carrying passengers and freight on a regular run between New York and Galveston. She sank on October 23, 1878 in 90 feet of water thirty four miles off Southport. Passengers were taken off by a passing steamer and landed in Florida. The wreck holds a number of different types of artifacts from the 19th century life style including: Haviland china, a silver bowl, a gold broach, railroad wheels, wooden tools, toys, candles, vases, marbles, china and bisque doll heads, ironstone china, bullets, rubber baby rattles, rubber balls, medicine bottles, spice bottles, lamps, brass clocks, pickle jars, fruit jars, solder bars, sewing machines, slates, slate pencils, brass straight pins and portholes. With visibility ranging from sixty feet to one hundred feet, this is a good dive for the intermediate diver. |
|
Raritan: 251 ft. freighter, the Raritan sank in 1942 in 80 ft. of water. She is in two sections, with the bow being separated from the rest of the wreck just forward of the boilers. The bow and stern sections are intact, making penetration possible. The Raritan makes a good deeper step for the new diver. |
|
Hyde: Once a commercial dredge the Hyde was sunk many years ago as a artificial reef. Over the years it has attracted abundant growth and makes for a wonderful dive. |
|
Mt. Durfys: A 400 ft. Greek freighter, sunk in 1936, she lies in 30 ft. of water, with a depth of 45 ft. at the stern. The Durfys is a good novice wreck with shelling for the novice and experienced diver. |
|
Composite: This iron ribbed wooden hulled sailing ship is lying in 140 ft. of water, making this a dive for the experienced diver only. |
|
Rosin Wreck: This 380 ft. freighter sank some time in World War II in 110 ft. of water. First dived in 1984, she has yielded quite a few portholes, and numerous brass artifacts. The wreck is lying with a 45 deg. port list, the top of the wreck being in 84 ft. of water. |
|
George Weems: Originally launched as the 140 ft. wooden Coast and Geodetic Survey ship George S. Blake, the Weems ended her career off the Frying Pan Shoals in 1908 when she burned and sank in 40 ft. of water. With normally very clear water, the Weems is one of the prettiest wrecks off Southport. Of the 24 portholes, only two have been found, and that is octagonal in shape. We have the bronze bell stamped George S Blake. |
|
Ore Wreck: This 400 ft. freighter sank some time in World War II in 130 ft. of water, making it a dive for the more experienced diver. We first dove this wreck in 1984, and have yet to find a clue as to her name, a real challenge. |
