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.

This bay is muddy and turbid, although some folks dive the several small wrecks around the inside of Sandy Hook. Bottle hunting around the old piers and pilings in Keyport harbor is also a possibility, but most of the structures along the bay shore are too small and shallow to be of interest. I have scouted the shoreline from Atlantic Highlands to Laurence Harbor, and nothing looks too promising. See also entries on Navesink River and Horseshoe Cove.
