Long Island Sound averages 60 ft in depth, with the greatest depth of over 300 ft at the eastern end. Tidal effects are strongest at the narrow western end, where all the inrushing water flow piles up and makes tidal variations of up to 7 ft. Strong tidal currents are also prevalent, and visibility tends to be poorer than the open ocean, especially at depth.

This unknown vessel is listed on the charts as "Margaret" and is speculated to be a tugboat. She may be the remains of the Margaret Olsen, a small steam-driven harbor boat, which collided with the tugboat Joseph A. Ginder on May 4, 1929. Visibility is usually pretty poor, 15 ft or less, and current can be a problem, due to the proximity to Deb's Inlet.
