I have heard that there is a sunkin submarine off of Cape May? I have looked everywhere for the GPS coordinates but come up empty handed can anyone help me out? I have the basic reef book but I know there's more down there then what's listed. |

The USS JACOB JONES (DD-130) was sunk off the coast near Cape May. I did not know a submarine was sunk near there, though it is certainly possible. |

There also was a cement ship that was made that didn't make it very far by Cape May near the light house.

We've got one of those concrete ships here down in Galveston, the SS Selma. They were made during WWI. The ship off Cape May is the SS Atlantus. |

It can't be very deep. The people at the hotel we stayed at asked us if we saw it when were at the light house. We did not but didn't know to look for anything.

  DANG!!!! I did see it and I didn't get pictures of it. Here is a picture of a bunker on the beach. I think the sign said it use to be 900 feet from the water and now the tide comes all the way in.

Pardon my ignorance - what is a concrete ship? Seems like an oxymoron. |

A concrete ship is a ship made out of concrete. You can look it up in Wikipedia.<!-- Edit --> Last Edited : 8/22/2009 1:00:44 PM GMT |

I'm sure there's a ship or two out at the cape may reef. I use to fish there a lot, though the fishing died a lot over the past few years. :( |

Just came to the site. The 'Sub' you are talking about is a WWII German Sub. The History chanel did a show on it and a book called Shadow divers talkes about it. Check it out, it has a lot of information in it. |
