- On January 30, 2023 the dive boat Constellation with Captain Harry and crew Nick, Howard and Joe left from Shark River, New Jersey to the shipwreck SS Delaware. The Delaware was a coal fired steam engine driven ship built in 1880 and sank in 1898 in a fire.
Nick was the first diver to enter the water and was immediately greeted by a small pod of dolphins. While Joe and Nick were exploring the wreck on their first dive, a Humpback Whale swam around the boat, putting on a show for Harry and Howard.
Divers encountered many abandoned lobster traps and ghost nets on there dives and several fish were freed.
Since the Delaware is known as a digging wreck, divers usually come up with a few treasures. This day was no different.

What an incredible NJ dive. Brings back great memories of diving with you folks. Safe diving my friend.
Very interesting dive great company and free whale watching
Hey I spoke to "young Harry" and his bell was found by the bow. I am waiting for a reply from Bill Davis on the bell with Delaware engraving.
I also contacted the "Marine Mammal Stranding Center and will attach their reply.

This is really amazing footage, thanks so much for sharing! Our Director, Assistant Director and Stranding Technician (who is also a whale watch boat naturalist) reviewed the footage and all appears to be normal behavior. It is likely that the whale and dolphins were curious about your activities. What a beautiful, calm, flat day on the ocean, we are all very jealous! This made our day, thanks!
I contacted Bill Davis ( he found the first bell that was engraved with the ships name and date) . He stated that he found the bell just off the wreck and over the years it has turned greenish but still looks pretty good.
Thanks for sharing your trips! Damn fine stuff! Good luck and stay safe.
I'd be certainly inclined to grab some spare fishing weights!! Trouble would be the ascent, and with enough dives there, they'd pile up pretty quick. :D Great must-Dive!
Great videos ! Have you ever dove the manasquan inlet ? Can you recommend any shore dives in nj ? Im newly certified and am looking for local water to work on my fundamentals !
If you are on Facebook, look at “NJ Dive”. Good reference for inlet diving.
