| The Pinta, a steel freighter carrying a cargo of peaky cypress, sank after a collision with the City of Perth in 1963. She lies in 85 feet of water. She used to be intact, but is now largely broken up. This is the wreck that really started the wreck diving craze in New Jersey. Well worth exploring, but bring a line reel and a light or two.
The Marilyn D. (also known as the Rule Wreck) is a barge lying at about 90 feet. This is a relatively flat wreck with one section opened up exposing the cargo, which is primarily granite. The bottom is clay which supports the life of lobsters and fish. There is a wood debris field at the stern, and the visibility is generally good during the season. |
