Weymouth was a schooner that carried coal on the Great Egg Harbor River. Built in 1860, she was eventually abandoned and sank in the river's tidal mud flats.[3] Her surviving hulk is located in the Mays Landing section of Hamilton Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States. The hulk added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 13, 2007.
