Bah, I'd swim out to File Island (off the beach park) all the time as a nice little workout. Is it off of the beach where the houses are or off the beach park? Either way, pretty cool.
Easiest to get to from the last access in where the houses are. If you swim to the Mokes, you know where to go.
Break, break.
So for this plane, according to what I've dug up on it (literally and figuratively), the plane was ditched after experiencing and engine failure right after rotation in 1943. Pilot put it in the water right off the end of the runway and swam back to shore. The plane was pulled up, stripped of its machine guns and salvageable parts, then pronounced a total loss and stricken. It was rolled off the end of the runway and discarded into the sea.
Fast forward 30 years, a hurricane rips through and pushes the hulk 1/2 mile out to sea, and rips the engine off. 20ish years later, wreck site is found again.
Can you really claim a stake in something you stuck from the inventory and scuttled intentionally?
