New Jersey Scuba Diving

Ohio

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Libra reef
The red tug Tobacco Pointe was used as a work platform to sink the barge, then it was sunk itself as a reef on the Atlantic City reef.

The dredge sank in a storm while dredging a channel in Lynnhaven Beach, Va. Salvaged but never returned to service. The dredge was designed and built to be disassembled, allowing it to be trucked to various locations. Height restrictions at the reef site required the A-frame to be cut down. However, the top portion was welded to the deck, to provide more structure.

Freighter

Pinta

A cargo ship or freighter is any sort of ship that carries goods and materials from one port to another. Thousands of cargo carriers ply the world's seas and oceans each year; they handle the bulk of international trade. Cargo ships are usually specially designed for the task, being equipped with cranes and other mechanisms to load and unload, and come in all sizes. Specialized types of cargo vessels include container ships and bulk carriers. ( Tankers and supertankers are also cargo ships, although they are habitually thought of as a separate category. )
