Ocean Wreck Divers IV "The Bow"

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.

Ocean Wreck Divers IV reef — Please support the Artificial Reef Program so that they can sink the rest of this ship !

Type:: artificial reef, tanker ( front half only )
Specs:: ( 85 x 30 ft )
Sponsor:: Ocean Wreck Divers
Sunk:: Friday August 7, 1998 - Sea Girt Artificial Reef
GPS:: 40°07.750' -73°56.345'
Depth:: 70 ft

Think of it as a miniature inshore Algol, or half-Algol. The vessel was scrapped halfway through construction and donated to the Artificial Reef Program. In this state, it would require very little clean-up, with no engine room or other contaminated areas. The triangular space inside the bow is easily penetrated, the cargo tanks are less so. A field of concrete rubble extends around the site, an ideal home for fish and lobsters.
