Very interesting and not surprising. I owned and operated the Good Times out of Barnegat light from 1983 until 1997. In addition to fishing group's, I carried about 30 dive trips per year. Many of the divers were astute students of the shipwrecks in the area and I shared their interest. My gut feeling is, the "Glory" is the Frampton. The wreck due south of the Glory/Frampton is probably the Kennebec and the Boiler is half of the Oklahoma. I guess we'll never be sure and it doesn't matter anyway. Great web site.
