Mohawk 2015

The Mohawk lies off the coast of New Jersey, USA in 76' of water. A 5900 gross tons passenger liner that was 387 ft long x 54 ft wide with a 23' draft. Owned by the Clyde-Mallory Lines, she left New York carrying 54 passengers, 109 crew and 1200 tons of general cargo bound for Havana. Off the coast of New Jersey, it collided with the freighter, M/V Talisman. A steering malfunction is blamed. The Mohawk and 45 persons went to the bottom. The Talisman remained afloat. The Mohawk is barely recognizable as a ship. It was wire dragged and blown apart to keep from being a hazard to navigation.
