. In; Floriaa - there , is a class more
strictly denominated wreckers than
those in Massachusetts, as they are
licensed as'.such, and spend their
whole-time • in aiding'the craft that
may go ashore oh'ihe dreaded reefs
of ttie Gulf coast. The.Florids wrecki-
eis,--speaking of the vessel used, is
much like the schooner of our' North
ern' fishermen.- 3 Probaly - no vessel
floats that equals in safety speed. ; Tke
pilot boats are like them, but usually
larger- A captain and six men consti
tute the usual crew. In most instances
two vessels workin company.—As-it
often - happens that several -vessels
are owned by one company they take
ground to good advantage. From
Cape* Florida id Kljsy West it is ijbojft
rfwohundred and fifty miles, "on ground*
which is a fatal o'ne ior our shipping.
- the wreckingvessels are stationed with
insight of each other, and signal art-
passed on the discgyery- of . u; wrecks
From' Cape Florida northward the
coast is open to tho ocean and no
shelter vfrefckingfectaft
For this reason the wrecked vessels
are often not visited by weckers for
sereral'i days '-after they *- go-nsliore.
'•’here is such*-harvest of&wreeks, in
.act, after a storm on this coast, tlia:
-oast, that the wreckers are obligedto
onfine their duties to the ground they
have been_watching .
