What: "Scattered Piles of Wreckage" The Maritime Legacy of Middlesex County
Middlesex County has a maritime history that stretches back to its earliest days. The navigable waterways were used to transport a variety of goods and people throughout the region and abroad. The Raritan River, Raritan Bay and Arthur Kill saw expanded use during the industrial revolution as vast amounts coal, clay, sand and other products were shipped in bulk from docks in Perth Amboy, South Amboy, Sayreville and New Brunswick. Maritime salvage operations were conducted in Perth Amboy by John H. Gregory whose "graveyard" of ships dotted the Perth Amboy waterfront. This maritime history is explored in an illustrated talk that also discusses what remnants of these vessels survive today.
