Experience shore diving and find lost treasures like 18th century medicine bottles or a cannonball from the War of 1812! Uncover lost history in shipwrecks like the Sam Cooke (a three masted schooner), the Muscallonge (a wooden tugboat), and the John B. King (a 140 ft wooden drill scow). The waterway and its underwater treasures welcome adventurous divers of all levels, both experienced and beginner.
