Runner Aground, A History of the Schooner William T. Bell

On February 19, 1927, the William T. Bell ran aground on the beach of Oak Neck Point after succumbing to the onslaught of a terrible Nor’easter. After the crew was saved by Bayville residents, they disappeared never to be heard from again. After investigating the abandoned vessel, residents found hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal alcohol! Diver and researcher Adam Grohman and his crew "dive" into the waters of the Long Island Sound and into the archives to investigate the history of this illegal “rum runner” and the final fate of the William T. Bell. Also Available from the Underwater Historical Research Society Library – Non Liquet – The Bayville Submarine Mystery
