The canal tug Troy sank in Absecon Inlet in 1979. It was eventually raised but never repaired, hence the decrepit appearance.

Built in 1954, by Matton Shipyard of Cohoes, New York (hull #322) as the Matton for the Matton Shipyard Company. When Turecamo acquired the shipyard, the tug was renamed Kathleen Turecamo. The tug was later sold and renamed Troy, scrapped in 1990.

Atlantic Halibut

Halibut

Hippoglossus hippoglossus
( literally: "horse tongue" )

Size:
to 8 ft and 700 lbs.
usually much smaller

Description:
The Atlantic Halibut is the largest member of the flatfish family and has a grayish eyed side and white blind side. Juveniles are found along the coast of Norway and in relatively shallow waters, while full-grown halibut usually stay in deep waters, between 300 and 2000 meters. So don't expect to see one of these enormous flounders while diving.
