Dorothy

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.

Specs:: ( 65 ft )
Sponsor:: Spectra Services
Sunk:: Saturday June 3, 1989 - Sandy Hook Artificial Reef
GPS:: 40°21.555' -73°56.103'
Depth:: 60 ft

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.
