Priscilla Dailey, Wooden canal boat in Bridgeport, United States
The Priscilla Dailey extends 111 feet in length with a 24-foot beam and features a rectangular hull with a squared-off stern and rounded bow.
The vessel operated from 1929 to 1974 transporting bulk cargo across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut harbors before sinking in the Pequonnock River.
The National Register of Historic Places includes this canal boat as a representation of maritime transportation methods in early 20th century America.
During neap tide, approximately one-third of the boat's hull remains visible above the water surface in Bridgeport Harbor.
The vessel changed names from Elizabeth E. Newell to Priscilla Dailey in 1941 when Stewart J. Dailey acquired ownership of the craft.
