Middle Barge

towing bit
Type:
shipwreck, schooner barges ( 3 )
Depth:
75 ft

This site is actually the remains of three wooden schooner barges, sunk almost next to each other, as though they were lashed together. At one end of the site, an anchor chain runs off into the sand from a large winch, ending in nothing. At the other end, a huge towing bit is upended in the sand.

Tunas

by Bruce Freeman

Six of the world's 13 tuna species occur off New Jersey each year. Among the most beautiful and powerful of sea creatures, the tops of their heads and their upper backs are either solid or wavy lines of dark, lustrous, metallic blue. Their sides are silver or silver-gray, often with silvery spots, bands, and iridescent hues of purple, pink and gold and silvery-white on the belly. Most young tunas have striking vertical bars along the body flanks, although these disappear with age. The beautiful coloration and patterns serve as camouflage.
