STEAMSHIP
The Steamship wreck rests in 60 to 70 feet of water two miles west
of Ambrose Light Tower. Although she is a big wreck with lots of
brass artifacts on her, no one, to the best of my knowledge, has
been able to positively identify her. Bill Reddan, a local charter
captain, refers to this wreck as Martins Misery; the wreck is known
to others as the Eastern Steamship. Frank Litter has researched some
of the artifacts recovered from the site. According to his research
this could be the wreck of the Daghestan. The Daghestan was built in
1900 in Sunderland England. She was 353 feet long had a 45 foot beam
and a 18 foot draft. In 1908 she was outbound with a cargo of grain
when she went down.
