Cape May Artificial Reef
8.5 Nautical Miles off Cape May, 5.34 sq miles
Depth: 50-75 ft [download]
Cape May reef also contains large numbers of tire units and Army tanks (not shown) concentrated in the center area that appears here to be empty. This reef also received 50 redbird subways cars, which are not plotted. The Onondaga drifted slightly out of the reef boundaries, and the state does not list it, but it is there.
