Description:

The Brunette looks incredibly similar to the Delaware. The shape of the ship is very obvious, from the chain locker at the bow to the propeller at the stern. A big difference is that the Delaware is made out of wood whilst the Brunette is iron. Because of this, instead of wooden ribs, rusted metal hull plates can be found sticking out of the sand. The Delaware lies in mud and the Brunette sits in sand. The Brunette was a very small steamer and sank in 10 minutes after the Santiago de Cuba hit her portside. The highest part of the wreck is a large steam engine that sits crooked amidships, maybe 10 feet tall. The iron propeller is roughly six feet in diameter. The stern itself has fallen apart but one can find lobsters living among the debris. The engine room is a great area for spearfishing. If one digs at this site, you can possibly find horse spurs, doorjambs, school bells, doorknobs, pocket knives, gunpowder flasks, pewter forks, soda bottles, brass buttons, spoons and lots of other varied artifacts.
