and. In Frenchman's
Ray, a few days ago
discovered a big cave
on the southern side
of the 150 acres of
rocky Boll where the
government is now
building a breakwater
to protect the harbor.
Harvey Hodgkins and Eri Bunker made
the discovery They had rolled away a
big boulder, which went crashing down the
cliff, and disclosed to their astonished night
an opening large enough to admit of the en-
trance of a person standing erect. A vol-
ume of foul air rushed out, as if the en-
trance had been closed for centuries, and it
was several minutes before the discoverers
dared enter the narrow passage, which ap-
peared to lead downward for a dozen feet
from where they stood
Captain Kidd is reported to have hurted
treasure near Ellsworth, only a score of
miles away, and it required only a small
flight of imagination to convince them that
the famous pirate could not have selected a
better place than the cave on Ball Porcu-
pine, which guards the entrance of a harbor
fitted by nature for a pirate's retreat
PLEDGED TO DIVIDE THE TREASURE
Bunker and Hodgkins pledged each other
that they would divide equally whatever
wealth should be found in the cave, and
then they consented to take a few friends
to the spot In the party were Serenus II.

CAPITOL CITY
The Capitol City, one of the most popular steamboats on the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound in the early 1800s.
Wreck recalls era of steamboat
By HAROLD HORNSTEIN
Steamboat travel on Long Island Sound
and the Connecticut River was recalled re-
cently by the reported discovery of the
wreck of the Lexington. A marine research
team announced that it had found the
charred remains of the silver-laden, elegant
cargo and passenger ship that burned and
sank on Jan. 13, 1840 in Long Island Sound
as it steamed toward Stonington.
The Lexington was built under the per-
sonal direction of Commodore Cornelius
Vanderbilt. He was competing against four
boats running between New York and Pro-
vidence. They ferried wealthy New Yorkers
to resort communities in Connecticut and
Rhode Island.
The divers say they found the 205-foot
Lexington after having searched for two
years the waters between Port Jefferson
and Stony Brook, Long Island. The wreck
was in three parts and the ship was sitting
upright in water 80 feet deep.
The ship's cargo, according to records,
included a great deal of silver and a con-
signment of cotton. The divers say they
have records showing the ship had been car-
rying $20,000 in bills and between $18,000
and $40,000 in silver coins. So far, the ma-
rine searchers say, they haven't brought the
silver to the surface. They figure it's now
worth more than $100,000.
It was the cargo of cotton that may have
sealed the doom of the Lexington. One the-
ory is that 150 bales were stacked too close
to the funnels and caught fire. The steering
ropes burned off and the ship went around in
circles, the wind feeding the fire.
All but four of the 150 passengers per-
ished. The disaster occurred about 7:30 in
the evening off Eaton's Neck. It was one of
the most disastrous marine fires in the his-
tory of this area.
Ironically, the Lexington represented
Vanderbilt's major entry into the keen
steamboat competition on the Sound. For
the first four months after its appearance
on the Providence run, the Lexington ran as
a day boat, leaving New York on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday, with direct connec-
tions by rail for Boston and the East, and
Providence on the alternate days.
The fare was fixed at $4 with meals ex-
tra. The older lines immediately lowered
their rate to $5, including meals. Vander-
bilt, instead of withdrawing his rate, an-
nounced a round-trip ticket for the one-way
fare. This was the beginning of excursion
rates for regular service.
For a while, the Lexington plied the Con-
necticut River and was faster than anything
OUR CONNECTICUT
the opposition companies had to pit against
it. Attempts were made to build ships that
could beat it. The Narrangansett was con-
structed for this purpose. But both the Lex-
ington and the Cleopatra, another Vander-
bilt craft, could easily outrun it. Another
boat, the John W. Richmond, also was built
with the aim of besting the Lexington.
The owners of the Richmond were so
sure that it would beat the Lexington that
they offered to give Vanderbilt $60,000 for
his boat, if it proved to be the faster of the
two vessels. But the issue never was re-
solved. Finally, the Lexington was sold to
another line for $72,000 after it had been
fitted with staterooms.
Other steamboats also were destroyed or
badly damaged by accidents. The State of
New York came onto the Connecticut River
in 1866, sunk in 1881 and later was raised
and named the City of Springfield. It ran un-
der that name until of 1895.
The Capitol City ran aground at Rye
Neck in a dense fog and was completely
wrecked.
The Granite City was one of the favorites
on the river for about 30 years until it was
overtaken by disaster. In June, 1883, it was
making ready for its stop at Goodspeed's
Landing when a fire broke out that spread
so rapidly that the passengers had to slide
down from the upper decks in an awning.
Three people lost their lives and the boat
drifted down the river like so much charred
timber - a total wreck.
The William G. Edgerton, one of a fleet
of excursion steamers, was renamed the
Glen Island, under which name she was
burned while running from New Haven.
Travel by steamboat entailed a certain
amount of risk. The public was quite willing
to take the risk for the pleasure and speed of
sailing.
The Connecticut was built in 1847 and
had a reputation for great speed. The Trav-
eler, built in 1845, for Commodore Vander-
bilt, was one of the most popular boats that
ever ran on the river. It was 225 feet long,
29 feet wide and 9 1/2 feet deep.
The boat had two iron boilers on the
guards furnishing steam for a powerful
beam engine with a 52-inch cylinder and an
11-foot stroke.
It was said that on Saturday, June 26,
1846, the Traveler and the Oregon, one of
the fastest steamboats ever built, ran side
by side for 25 miles, covering the distance in
57 minutes. In 1850, the Traveler was
bought for use on the New Haven line. At
first the Traveler ran as a day boat between
New Haven and New York, carrying mail.
But later, an arrangement was made by
which the day boat between the two cities
was discontinued to force
to
passengers pa-
tronize the railroad.
Author Charles Dickens was less than
thrilled by his sail from New Haven to New
York in 1842. He likened the New York to a
floating bathhouse. In his "Notes" he wrote:
"This was the first American steamboat
of any size that I had seen; and certainly to
an English eye it was infinitely less a steam-
boat than a huge floating bath. I could hard-
ly persuade myself that, indeed, but that the
bathing establishment off Westminster
Bridge, which I left a baby, had not suddenly
grown to an enormous size; run away from
home; and set up in foreign parts as a
steamer. Being in America, too, which our
vagabonds do so particularly favor, it
seemed the more probable.
"The great difference in appearance
between these packets and ours, is, that
there is so much of them out of the water;
the main deck being enclosed on all sides,
and filled with casks and goods, like any sec-
ond or third floor in a stack of warehouses;
and the promenade or hurricane deck being
a-top of that again. A part of the machinery
is always above this deck; where the con-
necting rod, in a strong and lofty frame, is
seen working away like an iron top-sawyer.
There is seldom any mast or tackle; nothing
aloft but two tall black chimneys. The man
at the helm is shut up in a little house in the
fore part of the boat (the wheel being con-
nected with the rudder by iron chains, work-
ing the whole length of the deck) and the
passengers unless the weather be very fine.
indeed, usually congreagate below. Directly
you have left the wharf, all the life, and stir,
and bustle of the packet cease. You wonder
for a long time how she goes on, for there
seems to be nobody in charge of her; and
when another of those dull machines comes
splashing by, you feel quite indignant with
it, as a sullen, cumbrous, ungraceful, unshi-
plike leviathan; quite forgetting that the
vessel you are on board of, is its very coun-
terpart.'

The pirates boosted the sagging local
economy. New York merchants,
Dutchman Frederick Flypse and
Frenchman Steven Delancy, financed
ships that sailed halfway around the
world to sell provisions and arms to New
York pirates operating out of St. Mary's

Seafaring legend was no pirate
more a misunderstood mariner
T
The swashbuckling legend of Captain Kidd is one thing, but
historically, the life of William Kidd, New York sea captain,
may have been something else. And Richard Zacks is a stu-
dent of history. The author of "The Pirate Hunter," Zacks has spent
untold hours in libraries and archives, having written two prior de-
lightful books on historical oddities and trivia. His time has paid
off well in his new work, which argues that Kidd the archetyp-
al bloodthirsty pirate. was more misunderstood than mean, more
framed than frightening. Kidd, Zacks says, was actually a pirate
hunter who was double-crossed by his backers. It's a complicated
but fascinating tale. Today's exclusive excerpt begins with Kidd's
time in old New York, trying to round up a crew for the sail that
would lead eventually to his doom.
New York in the summer of 1696 was an
ink spot on the tip of the map of
Manhattan, a struggling seaport with a
meager population of 5,000, about a fifth
of them African slaves. A public whipping
post stood just off the dock, and New
Yorkers wanting their slaves "corrected"
were expected by law to tip 18 pence to
both the town whipper and to the bell-
ringer who drew the crowds.
While London boasted 300,000 inhabi-
tants and the architectural marvels of
Christopher Wren, New York claimed only
a handful of paved streets and a rundown
city hall building. Hungry pigs helped the
city's one sanitation man, a Mr.
Vanderspiegle. "[New Yorkers] seem not
very strict in keeping the Sabbath," wrote
a doctor venturing south from Puritan
New England. "You should see some
shelling peas at their door, children play-
ing at their usual games in the streets and
ye taverns filled."
Dutch women wore scandalously short
dresses extending to just below the knee,
showing off their homemade blue or red
stockings. Dutch girls even into their teens
generally went barefoot in long white
morning gowns with nothing underneath
as they lugged laundry through the Land
Gate at Wall Street to do their wash at a
stream by Maiden Lane. Women of a dif-
ferent sort, often French Huguenot
desmoiselles escaping the persecutions of
Catholic Louis, plied their trade on
Petticoat Lane just off Beaver Street.
NEW YORK A PIRATE PORT
And, 300 years ago, pirates in gaudy col-
orful silks with pistols in their waistcoat
pockets walked the streets of New York
City, and local merchants, some Dutch,
some English, bargained for their goods
and lined up to back their larcenous voy-
ages. Shares were bought and sold over
rum punch at Hawdon's Tavern and the
King's Arms.
For a decade or so from the early 1690s
on, New York edged out Carolina and
Rhode Island as the pirate port of choice in
While merchants, barkeeps, and broth-
el owners back then welcomed pirates and
tried to lighten their coin-heavy pouches,
piracy in this small English colony of New
York was still officially illegal. Choicely
placed gold prompted the temporary
blindness of customs officials. It was all
"Wink, wink." The current governor still
wrote home to the Lords of Trade and
Plantation that he was rooting out piracy.
Governor Fletcher - a pious man who
arrived at church in a coach and six-pre-
ferred his bribes to be delivered not in cash
but in objets d'art; silversmiths thrived
during his administration.
On the fourth of July 1696, Captain Kidd
in the Adventure Galley glided into the
harbor, and greeted the people of
Manhattan with a couple of shots from his
cannon to announce his triumphant return
home. As he had hoped, the boom of
his guns stirred the merchants and the
sailors out of their smoky lethargy in the
taverns, away from the rent-a-pipe racks
and tankards of cider, to come down to
water's edge.
Captain William Kidd - a Scottish striv-
er who often felt he never got his due in
this mostly Dutch and English town
proudly guided the Adventure Galley, an
immense warship studded with 32 cannon,
into Manhattan harbor. Kidd, who called
New York his home port, had left 10
months earlier in a dinky 10-gun merchant
ship, and now he was returning in this
magnificent private man-of-war.
The Adventure's sails were furled and
men below deck leaned on long oars,
called sweeps, to propel the ship forward.
New Yorkers, lining the dock, were some-
what shocked to see the oars; almost no
one in the 1690s-with glorious huge sails
to catch the wind-put oars on a warship,
but they had come to realize that Kidd
always did things differently.

nation in exchange for a piece of the
spoils. Royal navies couldn't be every-
where, so countries in times of war
turned to profit-hungry freelancers.
Privateering, at its best, was a per-
fectly honorable profession, a unique
blend of profit and patriotism.
Typically, a group of investors band-
ed together to finance a privateer
mission to capture enemy ships and
bring them back to port to be con-
demned as prizes and sold. The
king might receive a tenth for
granting the original privilege; the
Admiralty might siphon off as
much as a third for doing the
paperwork and applying the stamp
of legality. The investors would
receive the rest and dole it out to
themselves and the crew, according
to a formula agreed upon before the
voyage. Pirates, on the other hand,
thumbed their noses at all these
niceties; they weren't sanctioned by
any government; they readily
attacked ships of all nations and they
didn't share their booty with any
admirals or kings. They were ship-
borne thieves, the "enemies of mankind

Adventure Galley into a neat opening amid
the forest of masts of idle merchant ships.
His quartermaster barked out orders; the
men on deck played out the anchor cables
- ropes as thick as a sailor's bicep - until
the anchor hit bottom and the flukes
grabbed. Small ships clustered about, and
quickly learned that Captain Kidd
had come here looking to line up 150
hardy men to go on a mission to hunt
down pirates.
In essence, Captain Kidd had entered a
pirate stronghold in search of a crew to
chase pirates. Only a man with towering
self-confidence (or a death wish) would
dare to load his ship with former pirates
or friends of pirates who, mid-voyage,
with any ill luck, might find themselves
shooting at cousins or neighbors.
Captain Kidd, on this summer day in
1696, was 42 years old, in the prime of his
life, physically vigorous, able to outmuscle
most of his crew. His face was ruddy from
decades of winds at sea.
The only surviving portrait of Kidd
catches him in half profile: penetrating
brown eyes arced by strong brows, a
somewhat large nose. His lips seemed
curled at the edge with a certain cockiness.
He wears a wig, as did most successful
men of his generation. (A 1703 wig tax
would show that about 50 New Yorkers
donned this succinct status symbol.)
Kidd's choice in borrowed hair is a fairly
subdued shoulder-length affair, in stark
contrast to some of the "big wigs," i.e., the
giant cascades of curls favored by some
crotchety bald English businessmen.
Kidd was surprisingly literate in a most-
ly illiterate age. Sober, he showed a terse
Scot's wit; with a couple of rums in him,
he could turn boisterous, then argumenta-
tive or worse.

town outhouse. The hub and meeting
place for all colonial shipping back then
were the town's numerous taverns offer-
ing penny-a-glass rum and wads of fresh
Long Island tobacco to pack into long clay
pipes. So Kidd, over the next few days and
especially nights, wandered to these pop-
ular "tippling houses" to tack the ship's
articles - a kind of "Help Wanted" poster
- to the walls. He also sent out some of
his current crew to talk up the voyage;
these Adventure Galley men whispered
that the newly appointed (but not yet
arrived) governor of New York, Lord
Bellomont, was a backer of the voyage, as
was Admiral Russel. These were big-wig
names to impress illiterate seamen.
independent, a hard taskmaster, ambi-
tious, distrustful. In this lone portrait, the
artist seems to be trying to capture Kidd's
temper in the clenched mouth, the slightly
flared nostrils.
Kidd was defiantly CAPTAIN KIDD, PRIVATEER
Captain Kidd on this July day was

of the city dock past the recently rebuilt
William Kidd, to this point, was a com-
pletely respectable individual; he was a
privateer, not a pirate. (His life would later
depend on the not always clear distinction
between the two.)
A privateer was a kind of independent
nautical mercenary, commissioned by a
ward many
times over many rums in Hawdon's and
elsewhere - provided sailors with a
unique legal opportunity to steal from
pirates and from the hated French.
And yet almost no one signed up for
Kidd's voyage.
No employee surveys were done at
the time, but apparently it boiled down
to money: Kidd wasn't offering any
wages, just a share of the future profits
from captures. The sailors back then
nicknamed this approach: "No prey, no
pay." If they didn't catch a pirate ship or
French vessel, they might callus their
hands reefing sails for years for
absolutely nothing. However, it wasn't
the "No prey, no pay" that bothered
them; it was the division of spoils.
Kidd's Articles, his "Help Wanted" poster,
specified that the 150 crewmen would
split up only a quarter of the treasure,
after expenses that is, after they had
repaid all the food, medicine, and
weapons at prices set by the owners. (The
weapons charge alone was £6 or three
months of typical sailor wages.) Kidd told
them the split was ordained by his blue-
blood owners in London; he said it fol-
lowed more along the lines favored by the
Royal Navy that first rewarded admirals,
commodores, captains, lieutenants,
before finding perhaps 10% for the crew.
The New York sailors weren't the least
bit swayed. Pirates, they knew, kept 100%
and shared with no one back at the dock;
en masse, the Manhattan mates opted to
ignore the appeals of Kidd.
So, despite being blessed with a brand-
new warship and a potentially lucrative
commission, Captain Kidd couldn't go
anywhere without a crew. The man was
landlocked in sweltering New York City.

E
leven of her ancestors perished amid the flames and smoke of the doomed Gen-
eral Slocum. Her grandfather scoured city hospitals and makeshift morgues
for days, searching for loved ones among the survivors and the dead. Her
great-aunt escaped death only because she slipped away for a day-long dalli-
ance with her fiancé.
Come Tuesday, 100 years will have passed since the
steamboat General Slocum burst into a fiery cauldron,
killing more than 1,000 people headed for a day of pic-
nicking at Locust Grove, L.I.
One of the greatest tragedies the city had ever
known shaped Karen Lamberton's family, and for
most of her life, she never even knew it.
"It was something too painful for them to talk about.
It's almost like a huge extended family that had this
disaster happen to them. It's almost insurmount-
able," said Lamberton, who lives in Suffern, Rockland
County, and who did not know of her relatives'
deep connections to the maritime disaster until the
late 1990s.
"There were a lot of people who didn't get past it."
The horror of the tragedy has been muted by the
passing decades and eclipsed by the atrocity of the
Sept. 11 terrorist attack-some New Yorkers have ei-
ther never even heard of the Slocum or have forgot-
ten it. But for Lamberton, the Slocum is more than
just history.
That sunny Wednesday morning in 1904, about
1,300 New Yorkers most from the Little Germany
section of the city-boarded the steamship at the Third
St. pier, heading for St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran
Church's 17th annual picnic. Fourteen of Lamberton's
ancestors were there, too. Only three would survive.
A series of errors led to the disaster. A crewman
spilled oil onto bails of hay, which were ignited by the
heat of a nearby furnace. While passengers screamed
for their lives, the ship's captain chose to forge for-
ward toward North Brother island instead of turning
around. The lifeboats were wired in place and the life
jackets were useless, filled with rotting cork.
Despite the enormous toll the disaster took on Lam-
berton's family, the name Slocum was never so much
as uttered. Not even by her own now-deceased moth-
er-whose father, Conrad Muth, went to his job as a
real estate broker that day and spent the next week
searching for family around Manhattan.
"She must have known the story, but it was some-
thing very close to home, something she didn't want
to talk about," Lamberton says.
Several years ago, Lamberton reconnected with
a cousin, who mentioned casually that relatives in a
family photo had survived the Slocum. The revelation
prompted Lamberton to plunge into heart-wrenching
genealogical research, spending hours in front of a mi-
crofilm machine at her local library. Soon, by cobbling
together the newspaper clippings, her newfound fam-
ily history emerged.
"I'd crank the handle, feed a quarter, photocopy and
cry," she says.
Lamberton's great-uncle, John Muth, a tailor on
the lower East Side, took his wife, mother, son and
three daughters aboard. He had even sewn his infant
son a new bright red jacket for the occasion. But amid
the smoke and confusion of the fire, John Muth lost

saw a single flash of red and

Her newly engaged great-
aunt, Anna Muth, had
planned to go on the pic-

instead sneaked away for
a day with her fiancé, Hen-

saved them.
"I wonder what it was like

alize it was the boat on which his wife and two chil-
dren were spending the day. He identified their bod-
ies in the morgue.
Of all these tales, the vision of her grandfather
hunting for relatives stays with Lamberton the
most. He found his own son, but his mother, niec-
es, sister-in-law and countless friends were lost.
Though he died before her birth, Lamberton's
grandfather had been described by her mother al-
most mythically as a man
of immense strength and
kindness.
Though he did not
die aboard the Slocum,
Lamberton is convinced
the tragedy prematurely
aged her grandfather. In a
photo of him playing with
his children at a beach in
Keensburg, N.J., less than
20 years after the trage-
dy, Conrad Muth no longer
sports a youthful handlebar
mustache or pomade-laden
hair. He looks, as Lamber-
ton points out, much older
than his 60 years.
"I have a feeling that on
the outside he handled it
well, but it caused him to
die younger than he would
have," she says.
On Sept. 11, as pan-
icked relatives flooded low-
er Manhattan and triage
centers emerged to care for
the wounded, Lamberton could not help but relive
the similarities between the two tragedies. And,
again, she turned to her grandfather's own heart-
breaking search.
"It revealed to me a different facet of him. To
know that they might all be gone, then to spend
two days trying to solidify whether that's true. I
can't read about it without its taking my breath
away," she said. "I feel like I almost walked beside
him as he did this."

centuries, there have been dozens of
unsuccessful attempts to retrieve it-
including one by Thomas Jefferson
and two by the British government.
Disappointed treasure hunters have
blamed the rocks, the cold or the
violent currents that plague the north-
ern end of the East River where the
ship sank. Cynics say the ship has not
been found because it's not there.
Clifford, who was well aware of
the difficulties when he staked a claim
to the Hussar in 1984, is returning to
New York this spring with state-of-
the art sonar, computers and a team
of 30 archeologists and divers who
intend to raise not only the gold but
the ship as well. Clifford believes he
will succeed where others have failed
not only because of his resources but
because of his uncanny instinct for
foraging treasure, a talent which has
already unearthed $14 million from
the Widah, an 18th-century pirate
ship off the coast of Cape Cod.
Success, however, could pose as
many problems as failure-Clifford
and the state of Massachusetts have
been in litigation over the Widah for
the past five years. Since Revolution-
ary times, there has been an ongoing
controversy between salvors and state
governments as to the ownership of
property salvaged from underwater
sites. The salvors contend that they
are entitled to nearly all of what they
find after having risked life, limb and
bank account to get it. States, whose
salvage laws vary, claim that at least a
portion of the property is owned by
the public if it is retrieved within state
boundaries.

positive happenstance which will al-
low him to negotiate a deal for the
Hussar free of precedent. "If there's a
way to get this ship up, we'll do it,"
Clifford said as he scribbled drawings
of ship bows on a paper place mat in a
dining room at the Sheraton Hotel in
Eastham, Mass.
"But what we do and the way we
do it has a lot to do with what the
state says about it," he continued.
"I'm not going to go in and spend five
million dollars without knowing
what's going to happen once we bring
the stuff up. It's happened too many
times before with people like Mel
Fisher in Florida, where the salvor
risks his life and his money and then
the greedy state comes in and says it
wants its share.
"It's not that we're in it just for
the money. You have to have a
certain passion for the adventure of
the thing to get involved in this kind
of business in the first place. But it is
a business. And like any other busi-
ness, you want to make sure that
you're going to get a reasonable
return on your investment and that
nobody is going to steal from you."

equipment; relics, pieces of eight and
gold doubloons from the Widah, the

Cod; the list of American prisoners
who went down with the Hussar.
Clifford's interest in the Hussar
dates from a childhood love affair
with relics. The son and grandson of
antique dealers, he spent much of his
youth collecting shells, Indian heads
and other extraneous artifacts that
would wash up on the shores of Cape
Cod. Throughout college and later as
a professional fund-raiser and high-
school teacher, his interests in mari-
time history and, particularly, ship-
wrecks, grew to the point where he
would spend all his spare time either
researching them or working as a
professional diver.
Clifford, 40, salvaged his first
historic wreck, the General Benedict
Arnold, an American Revolutionary
privateer, off the coast of Plymouth,
Mass., in 1976. In 1983, under the
auspices of Maritime Explorations,
Inc., a firm he founded with 30 of his
friends, he undertook one of the most
successful ventures in the history of
shipwreck salvage.

Mass., the Widah had long been a
fixture in the region's folklore and in
Clifford's imagination. In fact, it was
the first pirate ship ever raised. Using
a magnetometer (a computerized in-
strument which detects objects by
disturbances they cause in the earth's
magnetic field), Clifford found the
Widah a year after he started-50
feet off shore.
So far, $14 million worth of gold
and silver coins, in numismatic value,
has been brought up from a small
section of the ship. Much more is
expected by the time the project is
completed in another 10 years. Under
Massachusetts law, the state must
approve periodic progress reports be-
fore further salvage work can con-
tinue.
Clifford began his efforts to find
the Hussar with a second team of
divers and archeologists in the sum-
mer of 1984. Despite his success in
Massachusetts, he knew that the New
York wreck would be much more
difficult to locate because of both the
hazards of the river and the history of
the ship itself.
The H.M.S. Hussar was a 28-gun
Revolutionary War frigate sent to the
colonies by the British as an army
payroll ship in the fall of 1780, accord-
ing to most early accounts. Her orders
were to dock at the British Pay Office
near Beekman's Wharf at the southern
tip of Manhattan and take on 14 carts
of gold and 80 American prisoners.
The Hussar was then to leave New
York, which was being evacuated by
the British, and sail to Newport, R.I.,
to establish a new pay station.
Conditions for the voyage seemed
favorable as the Hussar sailed up river
toward Long Island Sound on Nov.
23. However, as the ship passed what
was then known as Barren Island,
now Wards Island, she struck a jag-
ged reef and started to leak. Because
of the river's violent currents, the
rupture in her hull expanded so
quickly that she sank almost im-
mediately. Some accounts say that
crew members who went over the side
tried to keep her afloat by tying her
lines to a nearby tree.

vived the disaster, but all of the
American prisoners, still locked in-
side their shackles, went down with
the ship.
Although the legend of the Hus-
sar grew from that day on, efforts to
recover the ship did not begin until
well after the end of the Revolution-
ary War. In the spring of 1794, the
British government sent two brigs, a
diving bell and an underwater team
back to New York in the hope of
reclaiming its gold. The project
yielded nothing and after two years
was abandoned. The British, howev-

The second documented salvage
operation was financed by Thomas
Jefferson in 1811. Jefferson, who also
used a diving bell, was not interested
nails
and copper which were also
believed to have been on board. Like
many of his endeavors, the project
was mocked as yet another folly by
the former President who by that time
was considered an eccentric elder
statesman. Oddly, the venture was
perhaps the most successful of all
Hussar salvage efforts in that it did
recover the nails and copper it had set
out to find as well as the ship's
rudder.
As salvage efforts continued
throughout the century, there was a
great deal of speculation as to
whether the Hussar treasure ever
existed, and if so, was it intact. In
1827, Fletcher Betts, who claimed to
have been one of the Hussar's petty
officers, wrote a letter to the editor of
a New York newspaper saying that all
of the ship's gold had been landed in
New York two days before the ship
sank.
"(No one) will be so fortunate as
to find the 'large treasure' said to
have been lost in her," Betts wrote.
"There was, indeed, 22,000 pounds
sterling on board the ship two days
before she was lost. But on that
day the money was safely landed and
delivered into the custody of Commis-
sary General Delancy."
More than 50 years later, a reader
of the New York Sun responded to
Betts' claim in a letter to the editor
saying that the 22,000 pounds was

only a small portion of the 250,000
pounds that the Hussar was carrying.
uestions about the owner-
ship of the Hussar also
arose early. In 1884, salvor
George W. Thomas of
New Jersey signed a con-
tract with the U.S. Treas-
ury Department in which
he agreed to give the fed-
eral government 10% of whatever he
found on the ship. The New York
State government protested the con-
tract on the basis of state's rights,
contending that the ship was imbed-
ded in state soil and as such belonged
solely to New York. Although Wash-
ington was prepared to hold its
ground in the matter, Thomas aban-
doned his claim before any litigation
came to pass.
The most recent efforts to salvage
the Hussar were made by Simon
Lake, one of the inventors of the
submarine, in 1937, and Ray Wagner,
a freelance writer who undertook
three separate attempts in the 1960s.
As always, their search proved futile.
So why does Clifford think he'll
succeed when others failed?
Because, he said, "I've seen it.
When we were towing the sonar fish
down the river last year, just as we
got over the wreck I said to my crew,
'Right now.' And as soon as I said
'now,' the edge of the ship popped
onto the sonar screen. That's how
precise you can be with your research.
We found seven other wrecks within a
mile, but only one that's 114 feet long
and 34 feet wide, and that's the size
the Hussar's supposed to be."
(The Hussar is one of two major
wrecks in the Hell Gate area. The
other, the steamer General Slocum,
caught fire in 1904 near North
Brother Island, and more than 1,000
people, mostly immigrants, died.)
Clifford's sonar "fish" is part of a
newly developed side-scan system
that determines the nature of objects
by hitting both the objects and the
surfaces around them with electronic
impulses which then bounce back to a
computer where the impulses are
analyzed. The sonar, which was re-
sponsible for finding the Titanic in the
north Atlantic last year, also meas-
ures shadows to determine angles at
which objects rest.
Using the system, Clifford has
pinpointed the ship as lying 80 feet
beneath the surface somewhere be-
tween 130th and 140th Streets, not far
from the Bronx shore-a site (he
won't divulge the exact location) he
and his crew will reconfirm upon
arriving this spring in New York.
Divers will then measure the ship,
check the soundness of the wood and
explore it from the inside. Depending
on what they find, the team will then
decide how to remove the artifacts. If
the ship is solid, Clifford said that he
will raise the wreck in one piece using
a huge crane, called the Century,
manufactured by the Witte Marine
Equipment Co. of Staten Island. The
crane will lift the ship via a cradle and
a series of straps girdling the wreck
from its underside.
If the Hussar is too brittle for such

RAISING THE HUSSAR
continued from page 20
a maneuver, whatever is found will
have to be brought up by divers.
Clifford estimates that the operation
could take as little as two months if
the ship is in reasonable condition.
"If it's possible to bring the ship
up in one piece, we could do it in a
day," Clifford said. "Then we could
put it right into a dry dock and
salvage it from there, which would be
the easiest way to go. Realistically, I
think we'll probably have to take a lot
of the stuff out before we even think
of moving the hull."
In addition to potential problems
with the ship, the crew will also face
the treachery of the river, the major
stumbling block in all previous
attempts. The Hussar is believed to
be at the point where tides from New
York Harbor and Long Island Sound
converge. The currents are fierce,
sometimes reaching speeds as high as
five knots (7.5 mph). That, along with
contamination, debris and river traf-
fic, will make salvaging the Hussar an
extremely dangerous proposition for
even the most experienced.
"The water is so dark down there
that the divers won't be able to see
their own hand in front of them," said
Freeman (Skip) Wheeler III, crew
chief for the project. "When you
undertake something like this, you
have to be extremely professional or
you could lose the whole thing, in-
cluding your life."
D
espite the risks, those
who will be working with
Clifford are extremely
anxious to begin. That
includes the investors,
who have the most to
gain if the project succeeds. While
their primary motive is profit, they
say the enticement goes beyond the
financial.
"It's pretty damn interesting,"
said Bob Gunn, owner of a real-estate
development and syndication firm in
Boston, who has invested with Mari-
time Explorations. "I mean it's got
sex appeal. I don't have enough
money to throw $120,000 bucks
around just for the fun of it. But you
don't invest in this kind of thing like
you would buy GM stock. It's a funny
sort of mix. I believe that the possibil-
ity of a very large hit exists in New
York. This one's a flyer."
Burgett Woodcock, vice president
of a major savings-and-loan corpora-
tion in Denver, said he invested in
"Our concern has nothing to do
with profit,' says Philip Lord,
senior scientist for New York
State's archeological office. 'Our
concern is to treat the site in the
best possible way. It's possible
that it would be better to leave
the Hussar where it is for
another 200 years.'
Maritime because of his confidence in
Clifford's ability and ideas.
"The projects are always fascinat-
ing and they give me a chance to be
involved in something that very few
people ever will," said Woodcock.
"It's an adventure. Most of those who
invested don't have enormous a-
mounts of cash in it or great expecta-
tions of getting wealthy. If we had to
write it off, it wouldn't feel good, but
it wouldn't hurt us either."
T
hose who have the most
to lose are Clifford, who
invested a half-million
dollars of his own money,
and Maritime vice presi-
dent Bob Lazier, a lead-
ing Colorado entrepreneur.
"I really don't consider it to be a
high-risk circumstance," said Lazier.
"Barry was absolutely correct in his
estimation of what was on the Widah,
and there's no reason to doubt his
judgment of the New York wreck. I
think we'll all do fine.
During the past few months, Clif-
ford has approached several New
York firms in the hope of gaining
additional financing for the wreck.
One large corporation, he said, has
offered to underwrite the entire proj-
ect, which Clifford is considering.
But before the Hussar project can
begin, Clifford and his company must
strike a deal with the state to deter-
mine how the ship is to be salvaged,
who will take possession of whatever
artifacts are found, and what will
happen to the treasure if, in fact, a
treasure exists.
Litigation with the state of Mas-
sachusetts over the Widah has been
protracted, to say the least. Under
current Massachusetts law, the state
owns everything that is brought up
during an underwater salvage opera-
tion, with the salvor being entitled to
75% of the value of his find. Clif-
ford's company is disputing the con-
stitutionality of the statute contending
that it conflicts with federal admiralty
law, which has historically encour-
aged salvors to recover abandoned
property by offering them huge re-
wards for their efforts.
This is backed up by the definitive
legal text on the subject, Martin J.
Norris' "The Law of Salvage." Ac-
cording to Norris, when the state
makes a claim on salvaged property, it
is decreasing the award the federal
government has historically wanted the
salvor to have and, as such, is "in
conflict with the policy of maritime law
and may raise a constitutional
question."
It is a question, however, that has
never been resolved. Most salvors
who have recovered treasure within
U.S. waters have either not found
enough to merit embarking on a legal
battle or have won cases based on
other criteria. Mel Fisher, perhaps
the best-known American treasure
hunter, won a federal case against the
State of Florida in 1981 when he
proved that the treasure which he
salvaged from the Spanish galleons
Atocha and Marguerita, off the Flor-
ida Keys, lay beyond Florida's geo-
graphical jurisdiction.
Clifford says he will take his case
as far as the Supreme Court if Mas-
sachusetts persists in its claim on the
Widah. In terms of the Hussar, he is
hoping to avoid such a conflict by
coming to an agreement before any
work is done. Philip Lord, senior
scientist for the state's archeological
office a division of the New York
State Education Department which
has the power to either approve or
deny Clifford's application said that
he could not speculate on the terms of
the agreement. Explaining that his
primary concern was the preservation
of the wreck and its artifacts, he said
that the state could reject the project
altogether if it did not feel that the
salvage attempt was in the best pres-
ervationist interests of the Hussar.
"Our concern has nothing to do
with business or profit or anything
like that," Lord said. "Our concern is
to treat this site in the best way we
know how. It's possible that it would
be better to leave the Hussar where it
is for another 200 years or until the
government has the ability to fund an
excavation without getting involved in
a profit-making venture. This is no
reflection on Clifford, who has
proven himself to be a responsible
salvor, but there is really no way of
knowing what will happen until after
both sides sit down and talk.'"
17
However, the state may be the
least of Clifford's problems, if and
when he succeeds in raising the Hus-
sar. According to federal law, lost
property retrieved in the United
States belongs to its original owner in
perpetuity, hence the British could
legally sue Maritime Exploration for
the ship and everything on it.
"Gee," said Clifford, "I never
thought of that.'"

The gold

S SOON as he saw the
four gold coins, Ron
Zaleski knew that a
fortune was waiting, some-
where off Rocky Point on the
North Shore of Long Island.
The man who showed the
coins to Zaleski had found
them on a casual Sunday
dive. In the excitement of the
discovery, however, he had
churned the water and mud-
dy bottom into murk. When
the water cleared, he
couldn't find any more.
Zaleski, a professional di-
ver from Hampton Bays, L.I.,
was called in to organize a
more professional search.
For weeks, he combed the
shallow waters along the
shoreline, but no more coins
were found.

UT IT IS obvious as he
speaks that Zaleski
believes that more of
those tantalizing pieces of
gold are lying out there in
the water, maybe just inches
away from some other diver's
hand.
Daily News, Sunday, July 14, 1985
That elusive gold is just
one of the many treasure
troves in the New York
area-millions of dollars out
there, just waiting-if only
you knew where.
One of the most sought-
after is the wreck of the
"Hussar," a British frigate
loaded with silver and gold
now valued at half-a-billion
dollars. She sank in 1780 in
the Hellgate, somewhere be
tween 138th St: and 149th St.
in the Bronx.
Barry Clifford, a salvage
expert who has already made
a name for himself by find-
ing the "Widah," which sank
off Cape Cod, is trying for
the "Hussar" now. His com-
puterized operation is expen-
sive, but he can afford it.
Clifford has removed a re-
ported $4 million in Pieces-
of-Eight and gold doubloons
from the "Widah."
But the "Hussar" is by no
means the only treasure-
laden wreck in New York
waters. The East Hampton
Marine Museum has an old
map of Long Island that lists
500 ships that have sunk
along its shores. Add to them
the ships that have been
caught by storms or treacher-
ous shoals in New York Ci-
ty's rivers and bays, in Long
Island Sound, Delaware Bay
or along the Jersey Shore.
There is the frigate "Mer-
Past
on the Jersey Shore, the
ships were blown up and

gusta" has been found, but

There are dozens more-

Warrior,' which sank off
Rockaway Beach in 1858; the
"Adonis" with $10 million in

century, Kidd and John
Gardiner, head of the clan
then, were thick as, er,
thieves. So when Kidd went
to Boston to try to persuade
the governor there to drop
charges against him, he left a
lot of loot with Gardiner.
In July 1700, Kidd arrived

known as the "Money Ship.
No one seems to know the
real name of the vessel,
which sank off Shinnecock
Inlet near Southampton, but
almost every resident can re-
cite tale after tale of the
silver dollars it still throws
up on the beach.
Every few years, especial-
ly after a severe storm, the
money ship releases some of
its treasure. No one ever has
been able to locate the wreck
itself.
The most famous treasure
trove of them all is the pirate
haul of Captain William
Kidd. Kidd is rumored to
have buried treasure in many
in Boston, where he was
jailed. He was sent to Eng-
land, where he was tried and
hanged.
Gardiner turned over the
listed items Kidd said he'd
left with him. But stories
have persisted for centuries
that much more of his pirate
loot never was found.
Ron Zaleski says that a
member of the Gardiner
family told him that, decades
ago, after a severe storm, the
man who tended the light-

A lot of other buried treas-
ure stories stem from the
Revolutionary War. There
are tales of hidden Tory
treasure, left behind by the
fleeing British sympathizers,
all over New Jersey, the
Hudson Basin, Long Island
and upper New York State.
There are other treasures
nearby that don't carry with
them the romance of war
heroes or sinking pirate
ships but are extremely
valuable.

ingots are lying at the bottom
of the Arthur Kill off Staten
Island. They landed there

bullion at the bottom

ship named the "Roma" was
being loaded in 1928 at a pier
north of Yonkers when the
box-with its 200 pounds of
gold-slipped out of the
clutches of a crane and fell
into the river. It never has
been recovered.
But the most intriguing
treasure waiting to be found
in New York isn't underwa-
ter or buried in the ground.
It's somewhere in plain sight,
probably, and the story goes
like this
In 1894, a jewel thief in
Berlin bought a ceramic cat
of still-soft clay in a pottery
shop. He shoved two huge
rubies-which he had just
stolen-into the base of the
statuette and marked the bot-
tom with an X. The thief was
killed before he could re-
cover the cat. A gem collec-
tor managed to find the pot-
tery shop a few years later,
but learned that cat and
dozens like it had been ship-
ped to the United States.
In New York City, the
shipment was broken up into
small lots to be passed on to
stores.
So perhaps on a shelf in a
junk store in Manhattan, or
above someone's fireplace in
Queens stands an eight-inch
high yellow ceramic cat, its
tail wrapped around its body
and paws... and inside is a
pair of rubies valued at a half
million dollars when they
were stolen and worth mil-
lions now.

O'Donnell elected to focus on one
heartbreaking or wistful tale as a
touchstone for the rest. O'Donnell
aims only to retell the story, fearing
that if we do not it will disappear.
By Edward T.
O'Donnell
Broadway,
[AD] $24.95
What happened on June 15, 1904,
he argues, was the kind of thing we
should never forget 1,300 people
died because a dozen or so men with power
and money decided it would be inconvenient
to take the modest precautions that would
have kept them alive. And when the infer-
no ended, leaving hundreds of New York
homes with an emptiness so palpable you
could touch and breathe it, they shrugged,
hired lawyers and went about their lives.
So in the end O'Donnell creates a met-
al Slocum victims died for
the same reason the Trian-
gle Shirtwaist workers died,
or passengers die today when
overcrowded ferries sink in
the China Sea. Someone has
calculated the odds of a disas-
ter and figured they're small
enough to risk, because what's
at risk is other people's lives.
Fueled by outrage, O'Donnell does not
paint his pictures in soft focus. His victims
scream. Heat fuses their hands to railings.
When they jump in the water, they sink be-
cause the cork in their life preservers had
long ago crumbled to dust, which becomes
mud and turns a flotation device into a 20-
pound anchor.
The center third of the book is a litany
of death, including a medical dissection of
what happens when a person drowns. Be-
fore that, O'Donnell sets the scene: how Ger-
mans emigrated to America, how in New
York they began to prosper and build their
lives around community institutions like
St. Mark's Church, which hired the Gener-
al Slocum.
This sociology is his strong suit and he
dives it into so energetically that at times his
prose shifts into the florid style of the era he
is conjuring. This makes the book at times
uneven, though style is overpowered by con-
tent once he gets to the fire. That's strong
stuff - so strong it is presumably a major
reason the story of the General Slocum is not
told more often. ♦

Remembering worst steamship disaster on Hudson River
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - In the were pleasant," Lange said
mid-19th century, when steam-
boat accidents killed hundreds
of Americans every year, few
disasters drew more attention
or sparked more outrage
than the one that destroyed the
passenger steamboat Henry
Clay.
The Henry Clay, a double
paddle-wheeler nearly 200 feet
long, caught fire on a hot sum-
mer day in 1852 while en route
from Albany to New York City.
Within minutes, scores of men,
women and children were dead,
victims of the intense flames or
the choppy waters of the Hud-
son.
"The trains tended to be dirtier
and hotter."
The Clay's three owners,
who included the captain, were
also making the trip.
Once south of Albany,
Hansen said, the Clay and the
Armenia, the fastest steamboat
on the river, engaged in a race
that ended only when the ves-
sels collided near Kingston.
The impact caused little
damage but rattled the Clay's
passengers, some of whom con-
fronted the crew. Co-owner
Thomas Collyer assured them
they were in no danger and the
ship's clerk was reported to
have said he "wished people
would mind their own busi-

families, among them the ness.
granddaughter of former Pres-
ident John Adams and the sis-
ter of author Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
A month later, Congress, un-
der renewed public pressure af-
ter doing little to stem years of
steamboat disasters, finally
passed stricter safety standards
to rein in the maverick indus-
try.
"As a result, a whole steam-
boat inspection service was
created. From this time on, pi-
lots had to have licenses," said
retired Hofstra University his-
tory professor Ed Dunbaugh.
By the time the Henry Clay
was launched in 1851, the Hud-
son already had a thriving
and often cutthroat steam-
boat business that carried pas-
sengers on the 150-mile run
between Albany and Manhat-
tan. But more travelers were
choosing trains, which could
make the same journey in
about four hours, half of what
even the fastest steamboats
could do.
To attract customers and
win bragging rights, steamboat
companies allowed their ves-
sels to race other steamers, a
dangerous stunt that could
overwork boilers, setting off
explosions and fires.
"They were always trying to
be the star boat, the fastest
boat, the most beautiful boat,"
said Allynne Lange, curator of
the Hudson River Maritime
Museum in Kingston. "It was
sort of like a sports rivalry."
Steamboat travel was haz-
ardous enough, even when the
vessels weren't going head-to-
head. Storms, collisions, sand
bars and submerged trees
The Armenia backed off af-
ter the collision, and the Clay
continued steaming south at
high speed. At midafternoon,
as the ship passed the Westch-
ester shore, a fire broke out be-
low deck. Later, it was
theorized that the doors on the
boiler's furnace weren't sealed
tightly, allowing flames to lash
out and set fire to the wooden
ship.
Flames quickly spread to the
upper decks, engulfing the en-
tire middle section of the ship
HENRY CLAY. A

Dark chapter: The cover of the book "Death Passage on the Hudson,
The Wreck of the Henry Clay" by Kris A. Hansen features Nathaniel
Currier's engraving of the July 1852 disaster "Burning of the Henry Clay
Near Yonkers." A month after the tragedy, Congress finally passed
stricter safety standards.
in a roaring blaze. Most passen-
gers were told to head aft, while
others fled to the bow. The
ship's pilot turned the Clay to
ward the river's east bank,
where the burning vessel ran
aground on
at
an estate
Riverdale, near what is now the
Bronx-Yonkers line.
Passengers on the bow made
the short leap to the beach be
low, but those huddled at the
stern were still in deep water.
Forced to choose between a
wall of flames and the Hudson,
many jumped overboard and
drowned. Others managed to
make it to shore on their own
or were aided by other sur-
vivors and bystanders.
When it was over, more than
80 people had died and many
more were injured. The Hud-
son's estuary carried some bod-
ies miles upriver; others were
found months later as far south
as the New Jersey shore.
Until then, most of the na-
tion's worst steamship disas-
ters had occurred on remote
western rivers. The Clay disas-
ter, however, occurred virtually
on New York's door step. Hun-
dreds of people watched the
tragedy from the river bank,
while reporters from Manhat-
tan newspapers were able to
reach the scene while the
wreck still smoldered.
"The next day there were all
these sad, horrible accounts
the reporters were able to find
out almost immediately after
the fire," Hansen said.
Survivors told of the race
with the Armenia and accused
the ship's owners and officers
of dereliction of duty.
The articles, reprinted na-
tionwide, fueled public outrage
with their heartbreaking de-
tails: husbands watching wives
slip beneath the waves and
mothers losing children to the
flames.
Former New York City May-
or Stephen Allen was among
the dead, as was Andrew Jack
son Downing, a famous land-
scape architect of the era who
planned the grounds of the U.S.
B5
Capitol and the White House.
Others
included Caroline
DeWint, Downing's mother-in-
law and a granddaughter of the
nation's second president, and
Maria Hawthorne, sister of the
author of "The Scarlet Letter."
"It caused a national out-
rage," Hansen said. "When the
list of the dead came out, peo-
ple were just appalled that all
these prestigious people were
killed."
The Clay's three owners and
the ship's officers were charged
with manslaughter for creating
a dangerous situation by racing
the Armenia. All were acquit-
ted.
A month after the disaster,
Congress passed the Steamboat
Act of 1852, which toughened
the industry's safety regula-
tions.
For the first time, steamship
engineers and pilots had to be
licensed, steamboat races were
outlawed and inspection re-
quirements were beefed up.
Steamboat disasters still oc-
curred after the legislation's
enactment, but their frequency
diminished. In 1851, more than
1,000 people died in steamboat
accidents.

Erin Head and Matt Napolitano.
Cold seeped through their wet
suits. Scooping up the sub-
merged muck roiled the water
like stirred coffee. And the visi-
bility beyond their masks was
just a few inches.
"Some days you can't see your
hand in front of your face," said
Head, standing waist-deep in a
Hudson River bay.
So it goes in the submerged
world of underwater archeolo-
gy.
Instead of wearing khakis, dig-
gers at Croton Point Park this
summer donned wet suits and
scuba gear as they dug up dis-
coveries beyond the reach of
landlocked archeologists.
Daria Merwin and a team of
students found buckets of sub-
merged stone artifacts where
the Croton River flows into the
Hudson, about 30 miles north of
New York City.
"I know it's stone tools, but
it's stone tools people haven't

seen in a few thousand years,
said Merwin, an adjunct profes-
sor at Stony Brook University.
The prehistoric tool makers
didn't live underwater. Creeping
sea levels over thousands of
years are believed to have sub-
merged settlements that were
by the water's edge.
The dig site was on a peninsu-
lar park near a commuter train
station and the suburban bustle
of Westchester County. But thou-
sands of years ago, it was a wild
area with easy access to stur-
geon, berries, oysters and fresh
water a great spot for hunters
and gatherers, according to
Merwin. A local man's success
in finding stone artifacts washed
up on the beach is what drew
her to the site.
Merwin, whose underwater
work has included shipwreck
searches in the Hudson, devoted
the first half of a six-week sum-
mer course in underwater arche-
ology to the Croton site.
The work is typical archeolo-
gy sites are meticulously
mapped into grids and methodi-
cally dug out. The work is com-
plicated because it's done under-
water.
Pairs of divers follow a tape
line about 150 feet out, then dig
exploratory holes every 15 feet
along the line as they work back
to shore. The bottom is dug up
with the same type of scoops
found in hotel ice machines.
Scooped up silt is sifted out in
metal screens. Results are
logged on waterproof Mylar in-
stead of paper.
Divers wear scuba gear, al-
though low tide on the Hudson
allows them to work on their
knees with snorkels.
More than 100 stone artifacts
were bagged and tagged over
the three-week period. Many of
the artifacts are "cores," the
heavy stones used as raw materi-
al for spear points or other tools.
Others, "flakes," are the unused
bits that are chipped off.
Merwin notes that finding arti-
facts in the water does not neces-
sarily mean there was a settle-
ment at that spot. Objects could
have washed up there. But she
says these artifacts have mini-
mal signs of wear, which points
to little or no movement through
the water.
After the Hudson River dig,
Merwin's group moved its explo-
rations off New Jersey's Sandy
Hook, which juts out into the At-
lantic Ocean just south of New
York. Merwin notes that it was a
Hudson site thousands of years
ago when sea levels were lower.
A recent dredging project
turned up prehistoric artifacts,
and her divers went 50 feet
down to find more.
Eventually, she'd like to make
it back upriver.
"This is essentially a pilot
study," "Merwin said. "I'd like to
take another look."
