Deep and dark, the Mud Hole is the Hudson River's channel from a time when the oceans were much lower. Today it collects all the silt and sediment that the river carries out to the sea, making it a very fertile fishing ground, frequented by pelagic fishes and sharks. The contour shown on the chart is not any particular depth, but do give an idea of the location.



Navesink River

Type:
tidal river / inlet
Depth:
30 ft max

Type:
barge
Depth:
85 ft

Probably so-named because it is the next-closest thing to the Pinta at the same depth. So if that wreck turns out to be occupied by another boat, you get a "New Deal". Seldom visited, so should be good for fish and lobsters. A large and relatively intact barge filled with stones. Known by many other names, depending on who you ask.


Shipwreck New Era
This painting is very bad - the masts and sails are all backwards !
Type:
shipwreck, clipper, USA
Specs:
1300 tons, ~500 passengers & crew
Sunk:
November 13, 1854; ran aground during storm - few survivors
