Budget Boat Towing readies the barge to be sunk by cutting holes into her hull near the waterline with a torch. ( Heavy Metal is now sunk on the Townsends Inlet Reef. )

Funds used to clean, tow and sink the vessels were raised from proceeds of several functions and film shows sponsored by local dive shops, clubs, and individuals to support the New Jersey Reef Program. Named for Barbara Ann Nagiewicz.
