Long-lost shipwreck resurfaces on Jersey Shore as officials warn against disturbing the ruins
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The remnants of a 19th-century shipwreck have emerged from beneath the sands of a New Jersey beach.
The ruins were recently found at Island Beach State Park, a narrow barrier island along the Jersey Shore in Ocean County.
In a Jan. 22 Facebook post, the state park identified the wreck as the Lawrence N. McKenzie, a cargo ship built in 1883.

The 98.2-foot schooner wrecked off the coast of the Garden State March 21, 1890, en route to New York City from Puerto Rico. Its homeport was Provincetown, Massachusetts.
The ship — and its entire cargo of oranges — was swallowed by the sea, though all eight crew members aboard survived.

Officials said the wreck was exposed due to rough surf and heavy winds in recent weeks.

New Jersey’s coastline is constantly changing.
It’s shaped by wave action that can unearth long-buried artifacts, a spokesperson for New Jersey State Parks told Fox News Digital.
“Several historic shipwrecks have been exposed at Island Beach State Park over the years,” the official said.
“Violators are subject to fines issued by the New Jersey State Park Police.”
“The Lawrence N. McKenzie has surfaced before, but not in more than a decade.”

The official urged beachgoers not to disturb or touch the ruins of the shipwreck “to help preserve them for future generations.”

“Removing natural or historic resources from lands administered by New Jersey State Parks is prohibited under state park code,” the individual also warned.

The shipwreck’s exposure is not the only case involving 19th-century remains along the Jersey Shore that has drawn attention in recent months.
In May, researchers announced they had identified mysterious bones that were found on Atlantic County beaches in the 1990s, with additional remains found in Ocean County in 2013.
The bones belonged to Henry Goodsell, the captain of another 19th-century schooner.

Police Blotter: Cambridge meth chemist sentenced to prison; Boston firefighters make high-flying save
A “skilled” drug chemist who helped flood Greater Boston with methamphetamine will spend more than a decade in prison for his role in the enterprise.
U.S. Senior District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV sentenced Schuyler Oppenheimer, who went by “SK” and conducted illicit trade with Chinese suppliers under the name “Michael Sylvain,” according to court documents, to 13 years in federal prison.
Oppenheimer, 35 of Cambridge, was arrested in July 2024 and pleaded guilty in January to one count of possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine and two counts of wire fraud.
Authorities say that Oppenheimer’s drug business was partially funded through $40,000 in Paycheck Protection Program loans.
FBI Special Agent Eric Poalino described Oppenheimer repeatedly in a lengthy affidavit supporting the charges as a “skilled” drug chemist. A rap sheet included in court documents shows drug charges — convicted or otherwise — dating back to 2008 and at the time of his arrest on July 18, Oppenheimer was on pretrial release for three pending cases.
In addition to his own record, law enforcement was already on to him because he is suspected “to historically have been a technician for other large-scale pill producers in Massachusetts,” according to Poalino’s affidavit.
That includes working for North Shore fentanyl kingpin Vincent “Fatz” Caruso, who along with his mother in 2021 pleaded guilty to operating a large-scale drug trafficking organization specializing in pressed fentanyl pills and was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. Caruso and a lieutenant of his, Ernest “Yo Pesci” Johnson, who was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison, gained notoriety through posting photos of their lifestyles to social media.
High-stakes save
Boston Fire Department firefighters saved a crane operator stuck in his cab at Conley Terminal in South Boston Saturday, despite the dangerous weather conditions.
The Department cheered the firefighters who worked “over 200 feet in the air under extreme weather conditions, high winds and heavy rain.” The department did not say how the crane got stuck.
Incident Summary
BPD responded to 249 incidents in the 24-hour period ending at 10 a.m. Saturday, according to the department’s incident log. Those included four robberies, one aggravated assault, two residential burglaries, three thefts from a car, two auto thefts, and 26 instances of miscellaneous larceny.
