Whitesbog Village

  • 02/20/2004

Whitesbog was founded around 1870 and produced a blueberries & cranberries well into the 20th century. The town is surprisingly well-preserved. The general store even has an old soda machine in front of it. We did manage to find some remains of a building in the woods. And...

Concrete Shipwreck S.S. Atlantus

  • 11/20/2003

I was a bit disappointed. There’s not much of it left above water. The ship, S.S. Atlantus, was an experiment from WWI. After a few trips across the Atlantic to bring soldiers back home, the concrete ship proved to be near-useless (it was concrete, afterall). The ship was...
