USCS Robert J. Walker, Sunken survey ship near Atlantic City, United States.
The iron-hulled steamer USCS Robert J. Walker rests on the seabed at 39 degrees north latitude and 74 degrees west longitude in Atlantic waters.
The USCS Robert J. Walker, built in 1844 in Pittsburgh, served the United States Coast Survey until its collision with a schooner in 1860, resulting in 20 casualties.
The shipwreck represents a significant testament to early American maritime research and stands as one of the first iron-hulled vessels in United States government service.
The wreck site remains accessible to divers and researchers, with NOAA providing detailed coordinates and documentation for underwater exploration and study purposes.
Maritime archaeologists discovered preserved wool blankets in the bow section, indicating the final moments when crew members attempted to prevent water from entering the sinking vessel.
