Atlantic Traveler Wreck
This is the wreck of the Atlantic Traveler about 8 hours after she foundered at the south jetty of Manasquan Inlet near Point Pleasant NJ. At the time this picture was taken the hull was beating against the end of the jetty with each ground swell that came in from the Atlantic. That's a New Jersy State Police Boat just beyond the upturned bow of the Ship. Its purpose was to prevent marine traffic in or out as the inlet was closed for several days until the wreck was finally moved 100 yards south to the Sandy Beach at Jenkinson's Beach at Point Pleasant. In the first week in June 2011 a Wrecking Barge was brought in and lifted the ship right out of the surf and off to be broken up for scrap.
