Think of it as a miniature inshore Algol, or half-Algol. The vessel was scrapped halfway through construction and donated to the Artificial Reef Program. In this state, it would require very little clean-up, with no engine room or other contaminated areas. The triangular space inside the bow is easily penetrated, the cargo tanks are less so. A field of concrete rubble extends around the site, an ideal home for fish and lobsters.

This wreck was named "Evergreen" for the large amount of green brass artifacts once recovered from it. The Daghestan was thoroughly demolished since it lay directly in the shipping lane and was a great danger to navigation.
