By East Point Lighthouse, near Heislerville, New Jersey, sits a wreck that, despite a fairly straight-forward story, is the source of several rumors about its origins. Some say it was the tug boat "Hazel Moore", wrecked in a storm. Others say that it's a sloop from the War of 1812. The truth is a bit less glamorous, but the "Fremont" is none the less a very interesting wreckage to survey and study.

Special thanks to Nelson "Captain" Klein for all of the information and some photographs, and the Maurice River Historical Society for pointing me in the right direction.
