Glass negative showing the wrecked ship Malta foundering near the shore at Sea Girt, N.J. The boat leans to the right and seems to be connected to something on the shore by a long cable. A man sits on the beach in the lower left corner of the frame. The Malta was originally built as the steamer Queen of the South in 1852, then renamed Malta and converted to a sailing ship in 1871. Enroute from Antwerp to New York with empty petroleum barrels, the Malta ran aground during a gale on November 24, 1885. After rescue efforts were attempted, the ship finally broke on December 11., Time: 4:45, Light: Very faint sun., Digitization and cataloging has been made possible through the generosity of David Marriott Morris, Eleanor Rhoads Morris Cox, and William Perot Morris in memory of Marriott Canby Morris and his children: Elliston Perot Morris, Marriott Canby Morris Jr., and Janet Morris and in acknowledgment of his grandchildren: William Perot Morris, Eleanor Rhoads Morris Cox, Jonathan White Morris, and David Marriott Morris., Edited.
