Book Tells About Shore Treasures

There are huge fortunes in gold, silver and porcelain to be found on the beaches and in the shallow waters off New Jersey, ac cording to one experienced treasure hunter. Stephen M. Voynick. a ' native New Jerseyan who has directed and par ticipated in major treasure salvage expeditions all over the Carribbean. has spent years researching the maritime history of the mid-Atlantic region and has just published a surprising book on the subject. Most of us associate sunken treasure with the tropics, but Voynick points out that for hundreds of years the great ports of New York and Delaware Bays brought to the midAtlantic the heaviest concentration of shipping in the Americas. At the same time, storms and shoals in abundance made this coast one of the most feared maritime [graveyards in the Atlantic The result is an estimated 8.000 shipwrecks resting there — an estimate based on actual maritime history

IN HIS BOOK the Mid Atlantic Treasure Coast. published by Middle Atlantic Press. Wallingford, PA. Voynick pinpoints locations onthe Jersey coast from as far north as Sewaren to the very tip of the state at Cape May as sites of valuable treasure. Treasure is defined by this hard-nosed professional salvor in terms of its actual dollar value; you can't take swashbuckling history to the hank. The Sewaren treasure, he points out. makes up in real value what it lacks - in romance. The Arthur Kill, just off Sewaren. is the site ^t which a tlumsy. squareended barge named the Harold accidentally dumped her cargo of three hundred tons of silver ingots. in 1903. In spite of intensive salvage efforts, there are approximately 1.400 ingots left in the river mud. a value of roughly $17 million. Further along the coast is the town of Highlands where, according to the author, gold Portuguese Johannas dating to the mid-17'p0 have been reported found in the sands, each of these coins now worth several thousand dollars. The beach at Asbury park figures as the location for the recovery of eight reale silver pieces bearing the image of Spain's King Charles III, while Point Pleasant and Mantoloking each also have recorded sites of valuable treasure coins. VOYNICK POINTS out in his book that Long Beach Island has claimed the greatest concentration of wrecks on the Jersey shore and. not surprisingly, also has one of the most productive mid-Atlantic coin beaches. Coins have been found the entire length of the island, with the greatest concentration at Holgate. near the island's south end. Ocean City is the location

of one of the more unusual treasure wrecks. On shoals 150 feet off the beach rest the remains of the bark Sin dia. grounded and holed in December. 1901. after fighting her way through a nor-easter. In her hold were 3.315 carefully packed crates of the finest hand-painted Japanese porcelqwrlJivers managed to salvage only about 1.000 cj-ates; the remaining ^Brcelain. now valued at over $1 million, still waits to be unloaded. A W KECK with contents valued at more than $4 million is situated off Cape May. Here, in 1802 the Spanish frigate Juno sank, carrying a consignment of over 10 tons of Spanish silver — in an areja that is now well within "conventional SCUBA range. Indeed, one of the^most startling realizations theft comes from reading this book is that modern technology make? many of New Jersey's treasure locations accessible to present-day treasure seekers. Modern maps in the book

pinpoint coin beach and treasure ship wrecksites. while newspaper stories and photographs document local coin discoveries and salvage expeditions.
