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.

There is some disparity about the length of the Megan Sue. The Reef Program says 75 feet, the Coast Guard says 60 feet, and the builder says 54 feet. To me, the Coast Guard figure looks about right. Reef Program measurements are often off by several feet, it's not easy to measure a ship with a tape measure. The builder's figure is probably a typo.

An Aquarium For the Naturalist

An Aquarium For the Naturalist

By Ronald M. Clayton
Illustrations by author

Maintaining an aquarium filled with local fish and other aquatics can be an enjoyable, learning experience, and give you a good excuse to get out and stomp around in your local pond or stream. It's fun collecting new animals and plants to add to the aquarium, to replace ones that have died, or as food for your locally acquired fish, and learning about your wildlife is a fascinating part of the experience. In the shimmering shallows and mysterious depths of almost any nearby body of water thrives a whole world of living things, some very ugly and some very beautiful - the variety will amaze you. If you are interested in providing inexpensive recreation and education for yourself and perhaps your family, read on.
