Both the Keegan and the Dorothy sank at a dock in the Raritan River and were cut up in place and loaded onto a barge prior to reefing.

A bow lies on a sand and pebble bottom, inclined 45 degrees to starboard, sticking up perhaps 12-15 ft, with the decking gone. Surrounding it is a field of twisted metal wreckage. The visibility on the bottom was not bad, although the entire site was dark, even in daylight. There are only a few small lobsters, and the wreck is infested with Bergalls, but little else.
