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.
