At least 214 whalers were working in the Gulf of Mexico.
The first one to ZS 1788 all the way up to 1878 with
schooners like the FW Moore and others. For now, I'm not
going to throw any names out but we only know of one whaler
that definitely sank in the Gulf of Mexico and this seems
to be about the right size. We're looking at what was the
remains of the ship so that all of the wood is is deteriorated
away. We're seeing an artifact pile around and ballast stones
around the anchor but this is the wreck. No doubt, this is a
whaler and it was lost while inactive trade. And here's the
tryworks. It is the tryworks is where whale blubber was
rendered into oil. Again, it was not plaqued in the name on
the back. Documented, take a look at it but I have a
suspicion as to who this might be.
