From;
americandivingsupply.com/Articles.asp?ID=271The Blue Crown was seized for drug smuggling in 1991 in one of the biggest drug busts in U.S. history - over 11,000 pounds of cocaine. She became a liability to the government when she sank at the dock, and so was given to the Artificial Reef Program. She was sunk on the Atlantic City reef system on June 10, 1994.
Today the Blue Crown sits upright and intact on a clean sandy bottom and provides a great dive for the spearfisherman and photographer alike. A large collection of tires are spread out off the port side of the wreck providing good hiding spots for lobster
