''Priscilla Dailey'', previously known as the ''Elizabeth E. Newell'', is a wooden canal boat constructed in 1929 in Whitehall, New York. The barge was used to transport bulk cargo in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut harbors. It sunk in 1974 along with the ''Elmer S. Dailey'' and the ''Berkshire No. 7''. The sunken boat has deteriorated to the point that a salvage operation could result in it breaking apart. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 21, 1978. ==Description== The barge measures long with a beam. The depth of the hold is listed at and it had a listed capacity of 311 tons.〔 Clouette describes the ''Priscilla Dailey'' as having a "nearly rectangular hull in profile, section and plan, with squared-off stern and bluntly rounded bow. Low bulwarks with scuppers rise slightly to a peak where they join the prominently projecting stem. There are several raised strakes in the bow. The superstructure consists mainly of a single low coaming which extends nearly the length of the vessel".〔 Toward the stern is a small cabin that has the same width and height of the coaming. In 1978, the National Register of Historic Places nomination noted that the convex hatch covers likely floated away and that the squarish hood over the companionway had washed away.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Priscilla Dailey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
