The Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) announced this week the ferry boat MV Twin Capes will be sold to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) and eventually sunk as an artificial reef about 26 miles offshore in a reef site known as Del-Jersey-Land because it is equidistant from the Indian River Inlet in Delaware, Cape May in New Jersey and the Ocean City Inlet. The artificial reef site is about 26 miles southeast of the Indian River Inlet.
The MV Twin Capes was one of the three original ferries built in 1974 for the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, which has shuttled an estimated 45 million visitors back and forth between the two ports since its inception in 1964, including countless visitors to Ocean City and the Delaware beach resorts from destinations further north. The MV Twin Capes had a capacity to carry 895 people and 100 vehicles.

Raising water level adding material to the ocean. OOps how stupid am I? This does not increase water levels it is global warming that adds to increase water levels. More recyclable material that is adding toxic chemicals instead of recycled for money. Jobs added to the economy to recycle this ferry eliminated. All this in the name of recreation fishing. Boy what a scam global warming is.
Ferry ? I thought they were talking about Jim Ireton.
71% of the earth is covered by water. Adding a ship to it will not make a difference. Same as adding a grain of sand to a swimming pool.
Can I put my trash in the ocean too and call it a "reef"?
