FRANCIS PERKINS
 The schooner Francis Perkins was built in Green Point NY in 1876.
She was 78 feet long had a 20 foot beam and displaced 52 tons. On
January 24, 1887 the vessel foundered in a heavy sea.
The remains of the Francis Perkins were found by Captain George
Hoffman aboard the dive boat Sea Lion. The wreck sits in only 80
feet of water and produced some very nice artifacts. Reports
indicate that a few
gold coins were even found. Since George only
visited this wreck in January it soon became known as the January
Wreck.
