African Queen
A Liberian registered oil tanker which ran aground in a
storm at Gull Shoal off Ocean City, Maryland on her way from
Cartegena, Colombia to Paulsburo, New Jersey.

Built: 1955
Sunk: December 30 1958
Length: 590 ft. x  74 ft
Powered by 2 steam turbines  

All the men aboard were rescued.

The owners sold their claim so the wreck was considered
un-owned,thus locals took what they could from the ship.
Eventually, a storm ripped off  the bow section and carried it
over a mile away. A tug was able to tow the stern to dry-dock
but the bow was never recovered and lies upside down in
the sand, a home to large lobster and fish.
