South Jersey's Unknown Ship Graveyard

[@nickcef]

I really like these history videos of South Jersey. Thanks, Joey!

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

Glad you like them! There is always something new

[@nickcef]

@@WildwoodVideoArchive It would be great to do a history on the railroads of the Jersey Shore. I know you like trains as much as I do! LOL!

[@thegonzofiles2014]

Congratulations on the Emmy nomination, best of luck to you.

[@billdaddario8800]

One of the best videos you have done Joey, packed with information and history. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to research, film and assemble your videos. Thanks Joey. 👍

[@capnjohn7455]

This one of my favorite videos on your channel. I was impressed with your knowledge of the boats and I never knew they used wooden boats in WWI. Awesome video.

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

hey! So glad you enjoyed it! This has been several months in the making

[@drcrowley99]

Well done Joey. Loved how you included the detailed history in the beginning to set the stage. Then moved into the exploration of the near-shore ship. Then saved the BEST part for the end. Goose bumps seeing the back to back ships creating the breakwater for the shore line along with the perfect background music to provide gravity to the scenes. Wow.

[@saltlifeinoc]

Thank you for sharing. I used to crab and fish here back in the 80s and wondered what were these ships doing there. I never knew how extensive the wrecks were. Brings back good memories.

[@johnjjingoli7671]

This was awesome! Great video Joey!

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

thank you! Hope you enjoyed it!

[@Thunder_6278]

As others have written, doing a great job relating the history of south Jersey. Right up there with Schoolhouse rock.

[@jimkensek4829]

I think I have learned more about NJ history from Joe than my teachers. Thank You Joe for the lesson.

[@dianebuckler1649]

Great video Joey! That's so cool. I had no idea that all these ships are there.

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

Me neither. Now we all know

[@jenniferwolf1113]

That was a nice tour of the Ship Graveyard in South Jersey, and I really like the ship that had some decorative grass growing in it. Keep up the good work Joey.

[@BillyLapTop]

Fascinating history. Great archival footage too.

[@MillerMeteor74]

That's so cool. I never heard about those wooden ships before.

[@markericbailey6292]

Well done Joey.

[@kellyssong]

[@deborahordynowicz2077]

Boy I learn something new with you thanks Joey

[@TheIcetemp]

Excellent video, Joey. That's a bit of history I never heard about.

[@gregorycoates9643]

What a wonderful video. Thanks so much for a very interesting history lesson Joey!

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was fun to put together

[@waltfab1]

Awesome video Joey. Love learning about local history.

[@jodi-bethfelton3696]

Great segment and footage!

[@mauida7746]

Great video

[@mariannegarvey9524]

Your video’s get better and better, thanks Joey ❤

[@dond7616]

Banner Job Joey always with the scoop

[@jacquecaeser9078]

Great piece of history.

[@flyer7694]

I knew those ships were there because I worked at those plants, but I never knew they were sunk in place over 100 years ago. I always thought they were put there when they built the plants. But it’s the other way around, looks like they built the plants there because there was already a ship breakwater. Thanks for the lesson.

[@allenpedrick6502]

Outstanding video!!!!

[@pitman6992]

Very interesting! Thanks Joey!!!😎👍👍👍

[@DisneyGalVal]

Just love the history videos! Thanks for bringing this one to us, always something new to learn about this beautiful state.

[@jabeachdates853]

[@jarheads88]

[@thisisus1842]

Always interesting to hear about history. Nice video!

[@phillycopperthings7223]

Awesome video

[@dragonclaws9367]

Hey hi youre standing near my house. Elsinboro. One of these is right around the corner. There are maps available that say visible shipwreck. Very interesting, I love NJ's history with the sea, lighthouses and vessels. There may be some oyster boats out there. Oystering was a massive economic boost long ago. Artificial island. Hope creek 1 and 2.

[@danielmkubacki]

Cool video Joey!

[@TheRedStang227]

Great video, interesting stuff!

[@caroleeritchings230]

Thank you for the awesome history Joey!

[@edde333]

Awesome video! Love the story behind them. And nice they found another use for them. Love ya brother and tell the wife I said hello 👋

[@Ironman-harmonica]

Wonderful History lesson

[@vincentgreer7289]

This was very educated and interesting

[@stanleychoynackyjr8694]

Hey guys I want to go see them how do you get there

[@ruthlong6876]

Very interesting Joey, thanks for sharing this, I was again, totally clueless of this, so amazing 👍🙏❤️😎

[@lunarstain7545]

We have our own mini Mallow's Bay right here and it's No Trespassing!? Dagnabbit I wanna go!!!!!

[@jrthetravelingsalesman6357]

Excellent video man!

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

Glad you liked it!

[@alainmercier9087]

Thank a lot for these part of USA history .

[@paulakauffman2153]

Thanks for the interesting video.

[@daveyoder9231]

Really enjoyed this video. Maybe an overview of all the military bases in S. Jersey throughout history is something to think about.

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

Funny you mention that. I tried it a few years back and was rejected at most of them lol

[@gregggoss2210]

Wow! Never noticed those ships out there before. I used to fill the vending machines out on artificial island many years ago. Never took notice to those.

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

Depending on when you go, they could have been completely covered by water. At high tide most of them are gone

[@jimweirjr3863]

Could you research the ship at Diamond beach Cape May? Before it disappears. Just a request. I remember back in the 50s, that you could actually make out a ship.

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

hey, we have done many articles on that ship. Jump on the WildwoodVideoArchive.com

[@harrysweeten9417]

I have seen the hulls at the power plant but never knew their story.

[@aloysiuswojocockowicz3855]

Salem County!

[@Lollie6438]

Are these accessible to the public or are they part of artificial island and off limits because of the plant?

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

Hey! This part is private property and if you drive down past the massive no trespassing signs without prior permission you will be arrested.

[@Lollie6438]

@@WildwoodVideoArchive thank you. I live in LAC and I kind of thought this was past the point where you needed special access. This was an awesome video too. I knew there were sunken ships out there I just never knew where they came from.

[@TheBogbo]

Are there any houses that can be rented near morey’s pier? I have an interview with someone from morey’s tomorrow for a summer job and I’m going to need somewhere to stay. I’m like 3-5 hours away from wildwood and won’t get there for like 2 weeks. I just wanted to ask since you live closer than I do. If you respond I appreciate it.

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

Ask them about their housing

[@TheBogbo]

@@WildwoodVideoArchive I’m pretty sure they don’t give housing to minors

[@WildwoodVideoArchive]

No not to minors. You will have to find your own accommodations

[@r.merriel]

I was there 27 years ago there only few of us who knew about them

[@marystevens2932]

❤

[@scottb7444]

Not unknown! I'm a NAUI Master diver and there's hundreds of wrecks off new jersey

[@scottb7444]

I know where there are a bunch of wrecks that aren't on maps. You should do a video on me, I can show you wrecks that people don't know about

[@eddiebruce2961]

Pseg what's so special about them?!!
