New York has attached these pictures to the Fire Island Reef. I believe that is an error.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is ny09_shinnecock_ss.jpg
Note the large rectangular structure at lower-left. This is the drydock, with a raised spine down the center which is visible in the pictures. The walls have fallen.
