Ocean City Artificial Reef

4.5 Nautical Miles off Ocean City
Depth: 55-70 ft [download]

This reef is composed largely of Army tanks and tire units, with some rock and rubble, and three old boat molds. (not shown) Also not shown on the chart is the SS Minnow, a small 30' commercial fishing vessel. The ferro-cement hull has probably broken up and sunk into the sand, as recent efforts to locate it have not been successful.
