A pair of Liberty Ships, the USNS Page and USNS Mona Isle, are the main structures on this circular reef site. The ships were acquired and sunk through the efforts of the Seaside Sport Fishing Improvement Association, which held the original permit for this reef site. The Liberty Ships are located at the extreme southern end of the reef site. The ships have been on the bottom for over 30 years, and the side-scan shows how they have broken and moved apart.
