DRUMELZIER
 The Drumelzier, a British freight steamship, was built by Chadwick
and Sons back in 1895. Owned and operated by Astral Shipping Company
of Liverpool, the single funneled vessel was 340 feet long, had a
44.7 foot beam, was powered by 303 nhp triple expansion engines, and
displaced 3,625 tons.
On December 26, 1904,while steaming from New York to Sawansea, the
Drumelzier ran aground on Fire Island Bar. Attempts were made to tow
her off, but they all failed. On December28, while all but 15 crew
members were brought ashore by the tug, Catherine Moran, a violent
gale began. Later that day, with the wind still increasing, the
Drumelzier began to break up. The 15 remaining crew managed to get a
lifeboat launched and were pulled to shore by the lifesavers. By
daybreak, the Drumelzier and her cargo of copper, steel, oil, pig
lead, and one fancy automobile were sitting on the sandy bottom.
Today, the Drumelzier has worked its way inshore and is partly
visible from the beach at Robert Moses State Park. She now sits in
15 to 20 feet of water with her bow facing east. This wreck is also
known as, Quadrant Wreck and Fire Island Wreck.

 WRECK
VALLEY III
By Capt. Dan Berg
The most comprehensive, accurate, illustrated
collection of information, photographs, sketches
and stories ever written about the
shipwrecks
that lie off Long Island, New
York and New Jersey.
Soft cover, 8x10", 188 pages
printed in full color. $39.95 +P&H
The original Wreck Valley book was
published back in 1986. At the time it was not
only the first but the only book for area divers
that detailed local shipwreck history and dive
conditions.
Capt. Dan's 2nd edition was printed in 1990 and
became the most popular of his shipwreck
publications.
Wreck Valley III is a
completely new update, expanded and enhanced
edition of the
Wreck Valley books. Wreck Valley's
3rd edition covers the history,
legend, present
condition, aquatic life, and pertinent dive
information on over 140 shipwrecks.
This text includes over 550 illustrations,
comprised of over 400 color photographs, 111
black and white historical photographs, 35
sketches, 20 side scan sonar images and nine
3D underwater shipwreck illustrations.
 Capt. Dan completely changed the books format
and design to accommodate all of the research
and images collected in 30 years of local
shipwreck diving. The collection of historical
photographs alone would take years of
archive
research to locate and would cost a small
fortune
if purchased separately. Many of these rare
images have never before been published.
Wreck Valley
III
includes a GPS list of accurate artificial reef
and shipwreck locations. Divers, fisherman,
marine historians, armchair sailors or anyone
with a general interest in history, diving or
the sea will surely find this book informative,
fascinating, and the perfect addition to their
library.
