Location
The location of Nathan F. Cobb's wreck is designated by a sign to warn swimmers. It is anchored in or near the water's edge depending on the tide. The sign is located at 29°16′38″N 81°1′53″W / 29.27722°N 81.03139°W / 29.27722; -81.03139Coordinates: 29°16′38″N 81°1′53″W / 29.27722°N 81.03139°W / 29.27722; -81.03139 on Ormond Beach. Previously, a large boulder had been sent from Freed Waterhouse's hometown of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, decorated with a bronze plaque commemorating his brave rescue efforts. This monument was prominently placed in the sand dunes near the site where the ship ran aground, but in July 1972 the plaque was vandalized and broken off. After the plaque was reattached to the boulder, it was relocated to the east side of the Casa Del Mar Beach Resort, where it currently sits. The sign is on the wall north of the steps leading up to the pool.
