: Brendon & Ross, : I Don't have a digital camera but I'll see if I can get one. : later : Dave : : All, : : I believe the remains are one of the following vessels: : : Schooner Phantom : : Scow Schooner C.L. Fick : : Schooner Chieftain : : Schooner Commencement : : All were lost on the beaches in the immediate area. It would be very helpful to measure the dimensions of the timbers and photograph them. There's a fair chance I could make a provisional identfication if I have enough data. : : : : Dave, : : : Any way you can take pictures with a digital camera and post them on this site? : : : Ross : : : : : : I found what I beleive is something which could be off a old wooden ship. one timber which is 16"x 16", measuring over 30' until it disapears into the sand about 1/2 mi or so north of Daisy Day wrecksite. Then another 1/4 mile N of there is a weathered pise of wood 30" wide and 16' long. The first piece has oblong holes in it spaced about afoot apart. No cottages are near these timbers & they are dark and real old. : : : : any thoughts on them? : : : : regards, : : : : Dave
