Along the Coast: Historic find

7960453665?profile=original

Jon Pugh, 15-year-old son of Geoff and Lisa Pugh of Ocean Ridge, shows off the brass bilge pump that he recovered

in the waters off Manalapan, north of the Boynton Inlet.  The pump appears to have been part of the wreckage

of a British barkentine, the Oh Kim Soon, which sank in 1897. The pump became exposed after Hurricane Sandy.
