Carol Moran reef

Built in 1949, by Levingston Shipyard of Orange, Texas ( hull #444 ) as the Carol Moran for the Moran Towing Company of New York, New York. The tug was the fourth of series of five Grace Moran class tugs designed by naval architect Joe Hack, often referred to as "Moran's Cadillacs." ( See Georgia Moran and King's Point. ) She was powered by a single Cleveland 16-278A diesel-electric engine. She was a single screw tug, rated at 1,750 horsepower. In 1987 the tug suffered a fire and was donated to New Jersey to be used as an artificial reef.
