Wreck Site off the New Jersey coast
A 33-acre wreck patch southeast of the main Scotland Buoy ground, about 5.4 nautical miles east-southeast of Sandy Hook. The small wreck footprint is a fluke producer — short, repeated drifts across the debris field are the play.
The surrounding characteristics are composed by muddy and sandy material as a bottom type.
