I found the name Jana Marie on a list of lobster permits, with hull number 653408. Hull numbers never change, and that connected to Pot Luck in Florida. One note says Pot Luck was constructed in 1983; builder's records are incomplete.

Pot Luck was in the "golden crab" (Chaceon fenneri) fishery around Florida before being brought up to Boston for lobsters. Photo date March 6, 2018.

The lobster boat Pot Luck is seen on a chilly January morning in Cape Cod Bay.

Now home for lobsters

The Jana Marie is a memorial reef placed in memory of avid fisherman Doug Oakland. Although it was sunk in August, New York State didn't get around to announcing it until December, and then on Facebook. Does anyone still use Facebook?

Description
A heavy-bodied, laterally compressed minnow with a long dorsal fin and arched back. The first ray of the dorsal and anal fins is a stout, serrated spine. The small triangular head tapers to a blunt snout. The small, protrusible mouth contains no teeth and is located below the snout. There are two pairs of barbels on the upper jaw. Body color is brassy green on top grading to bronze or gold on sides. The belly is yellowish-white. Fins typically are yellow, orange, golden, or light olive in color. The wild type of common carp is completely covered with large, round scales. Mirror carp has a few very large scales scattered over the body and leather carp are virtually scaleless.
