LIVE OAK

The Live Oak was a wooden sailing ship or sloop. On October 20, 1769 she was en-route, under the command of Captain Foy, from Santo Domingo to New York when she ran aground on Squan Beach. The Live Oak was transporting $20,000 in specie. To date no one has located or positively identified the Live Oaks final resting place. She is most likely buried beneath New Jersey's ever shifting sands. According to John Potter's Treasure Diver's Guide " The money is still there, some where under the beach or just off it in shallow water."

After the nor-easter of 1992 several silver Pillar Dollars all dated 1768-1769 were located. The coins which ranged from 1-8 reales were found scattered over more then two miles of beach. It seems that the wreck is completely buried and only the power of Mother Nature occasionally uncovers or washes up a portion of her sunken treasure.
