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.

Polymer Materials

Polyethylene
Polyethylene - the simplest polymer: ---CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2---

Polymer materials - rubbers, plastics, and silicones - are not really of interest as artifacts. They are, however, among the most important materials to divers: without neoprene, nylon, and a bewildering range of other polymer materials, we would not have most of the equipment that makes diving possible!
