19th Century Shipwreck Found In Brick

While working on a steel wall to protect our coast from future storms, workers discovered the remains of a 19th-century shipwreck about 25 feet underneath the sand.

Experts believe the ship is the Scottish brig Aysrshire, which sunk off Seaside Heights on Jan. 12, 1850, with 201 English and Irish immigrants aboard, Brick Mayor John Ducey told Townsquare Media.
