I wanna know about the abandoned hulks on the bank- what were those ships? What did they do? (One looks like a tug)

They've got stories to tell.

One of the hulks in the shallows is the remains of the Emma Giles, a paddlewheel ferry that provided service from Baltimore up and down the Bay. There's also at least one WWII era ferrocement ship in the area.

Here's a presentation from the state's underwater archaeologist: https://youtu.be/c8KTuvPr1Q4
