I asked this for the Scull I was thinking off was involved with the salvage operation of a rather (in)famous local shipwreck off the Ocean City shore line. It's still there, though buried under the dunes. My Great Grandfather, Japhet (Jake) Townsend was also involved in underwater salvage. The Local historical society has a rather impresssive display of artifacts from the wreck, including photos of the divers. Thank you for the information.
