Bay King / Megan Sue reefs

The Bay King and Megan Sue were sunk together, 180 feet apart; close enough to share a single mark on the chart. The larger Bay King is to the east of the Megan Sue. The full name of the sunken tug is the MRMTC Member Memorial Reef, to commemorate and honor members of that club who have passed away.
