Didnt know that about colors of ballast piles. It just looked somewhat "ship-shaped".

yea its the right shape just that ballast rock is very dark ..its dark around the borders but light colored inthe middle it could be somew coral or algea growth but tfor some reason coral grows poorly on ballast rock .. i have dove south andros near by being shallow it would have been easy salvage at the time it sank
