Summary
Significance: Vessel 53, the MINERVA (formerly the JANE MOSELEY), is a sidewheel steamer that was built in Brooklyn in 1870. Most of its hull is below water, but the assembled wooden A-frame for the walking beam engine is still preserved above the surface. This is the only known extant example of this American engineering accomplishment.
