Vickie reef

"Vickie" is a very common name, not useful for identification. But note the red "53" on the remains of the wheelhouse. Those are the first two digits of the "Official Number." Some digging turned up the rest: 538793. Another Master Marine trawler, home-ported in New Bedford.

drydock barge

Type:: shipwreck, dry-dock barge
Depth:: 110 ft

This anonymous big rectangular wooden dry-dock barge lies off Asbury Park, out near the edge of the Mud Hole. It is similar to the better-known Immaculata. The hulk of the wreck rises up as much as 10 feet, partially intact, while the upper sides have collapsed into the silty sand. Holes in the main wreckage allow penetration into the dark interior, which is surprisingly barren. A debris field of large rectangular ballast stones, wooden ribs, and rusted machinery extend from the western edge of the wreck, and to a lesser extent all around it. In exceptional late October fifty-foot visibility the view of this wreck from above was impressive, but overall this is not a very pretty site, and it is seldom dived. Good for lobsters, Sea Bass, scallops, and decompression.
