Benzonia is one of more than a hundred World War I era wooden ships in Mallows Bay, Md. The ship was built in 1919 in Washington state. In 2003, Hurricane Isabel lifted the Benzonia wreck on top of another World War I steamship.

Thirty miles from Washington, D.C., lies one of the largest collections of shipwrecks in the world. Now, these WWI-era vessels are attracting tourists and federal investment.
