This site is really just a jumble of machinery. Anything resembling a ship has long since disappeared. Various clues around the site would seem to indicate a wooden-hulled trawler, probably built before the war ( WWII ) and sunk sometime after.
There is actually a wealth of books on the subject of diving the New Jersey / New York area. A great deal more information, including loran numbers and/or directions, much more detailed histories and descriptions, and historical photos, can be found in these references, and I highly recommend all of them. You can find these at your local dive shop, or order all of them directly from the links on this page.
Many out-of-print titles are still available from used book dealers and can be found by searching online.
Update 2020:
Unfortunately, most of these are out of print now, but you can search out used copies.
