USS NEW HAMPSHIRE
 The wood hulled 74gun Ship-of-the Line New Hampshire was originally
named the Alabama. Although her construction was started in 1816 the
vessel was never completed. In 1864the ship was finally launched and
re-named New Hampshire. She was 208 feet long had a 51 foot beam and
displaced 2633 tons. In 1904 after a long career the New Hampshire
was once again re-named Granite State. She then served as a training
ship.
In May of 1921 the warship caught fire. She was burned into a
smoldering hulk. In August her charred remains were sold for scrap.
In July of 1922 the hull was raised. The New Hampshire was then
taken in tow en-route for Eastport, Maine. While being towed another
fire started. The tug quickly responded and rescued the two crew
aboard the old ship. Unfortunately, they could do little but watch
the New Hampshire burn. The hulk drifted onto Graves Island.
The remains of the New Hampshire are scattered in 10 to 40 feet of
water. According to diver Bill Carter divers can find solid copper
spikes that were hand wrought in Paul Revere's foundry. The "US"
stamped on the shank indicates approval of US Navy Bureau of Ships.
