Garden State North Artificial Reef
Garden State North Artificial Reef
6.5 Nautical Miles off Harvey Cedars, 1.50 sq miles
Depth: 65-85 ft [download]
Good Times and Queen Mary are plotted from 1989 LORAN numbers. Although the TDs are slightly different, the resulting conversions are identical. It doesn't matter, neither one is still there.
This reef is also scattered with Army tanks, and tire units in the east. (not shown) The subway cars are not plotted as they have disintegrated after 20 years. Minimum clearance at mean low water is 50 feet.
