Aowa - Mobile Version3D Model
The Aowa is considered to be among the best preserved wooden steamship wrecks in Mallows Bay - Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary, with the propeller shaft tunnel as one of the most notably preserved features at the site. The propeller shaft has at least five shaft casing mounts still in place. Unfortunately however, due to its position on the outer tier of remaining vessel sites, this exposes the remains to frequently turbulent water conditions, and submersion during high tide, making it one of the most difficult to access. The hull has been in its present location since at least 1929. This photogrammetry model depicts the shipwrecks Aowa, Nupolela, Caribou, and Benzonia. Model by Ian Dunshee/NOAA.
