Shipwreck Hankins
The "Big Hankins, " to be precise. Typical of most any schooner barge wreck.
Type:
shipwreck, schooner barge(s)
Sunk:
late 1800s
Depth:
80 ft


Type:
shipwreck, barges ( 2 )
Sunk:
Saturday May 26, 1934
foundered in storm - 2 casualties
Depth:
70 ft

Shipwreck Joan La Rie III
Type:
shipwreck, party boat
Specs:
( 47 ft ) 22 crew & passengers
Sunk:
Sunday Oct 24, 1982
foundered in rough weather - 6 casualties
Depth:
80 ft

probably nothing left but the engine, and that is probably buried


Shipwreck John Minturn
Type:
shipwreck, sailing ship, USA
Built:
1841, Westerly RI USA
Specs:
( 119 x 27 ft ) 398 tons
Sunk:
Thursday February 15, 1846
ran aground in storm - approximately 10 survivors and 40 dead
Depth:
20 ft

Klondike Rocks
The low, shelf-like structure of the rocks, which seldom rise
more than two feet above the bottom. Cunners

These low outcroppings appear in small to large patches over a two-mile area called the Klondike, and elsewhere, at depths ranging from 60 to 90 feet. The overhangs, crags, and holes afforded by the piles of rocks and boulders provide excellent homes for fish and lobsters. Visibility can be great here at times, but it is usually 10-20 ft, with a silty bottom in most places. The larger areas extend for many hundreds of feet, and an incautious diver can easily get lost. The stone itself is a type of sandstone known as Greensand, which occurs along the northern part of the New Jersey coast, and parts of Long Island, most famously as the Shrewsbury Rocks.


Shipwreck Lana Carol
Type:
shipwreck, scallop dredge, USA
Built:
1973, F. B. Walker & Sons, Pascagoula MS USA, as Dorinda
Specs:
( 71 x 21 ft ) 104 gross tons, 4 crew
Sunk:
Sunday October 31, 1976
foundered in rough seas - no casualties
Depth:
90 ft

Type:
shipwreck, tanker
Specs:
( 120 ft )
Depth:
115 ft

This is erroneously called a tug, but its shape and size indicate that she was once might have been a small oiler or tanker. The wreck lies upright in the muddy bottom at 120 feet. She comes up 15 feet off the bottom in many places and is mostly intact. I have little idea of age, but her conditions suggest she's been there for 30-40 years or more.





Cusk Eel
Cusk
Cusk Eel
Cusk Eel

These fishes take the fin-merging of the Hakes one step further, merging all the unpaired fins and the tail into a single continuous margin. You can find tiny inch-long baby Cusk Brosme brosme under rocks and debris. Adults are found in coastal waters, in depths 60 ft and below, and grow to 39" and 27 lbs.
