New Jersey Scuba Diving

Troop Carrier

Specs:
Landing Craft?
Sunk:
during World War II ?
Depth:
20 ft

This wreck is described only as a "Troop Carrier" from World War II. Given its location, I would guess that what is meant by this is most likely a landing craft; probably lost in an accident during an amphibious training exercise by the Army.
