Most likely some of the spillage flowed over to and filled in the area of the dock remains. The sludge from the dredging of the Raritan Bay channels in the 1950’s was deposited in what now is the Raritan Bay Waterfront Park. Perhaps it wasn’t always this way in this area. At low tide, all of the pile remains are totally surrounded by sand with no water. It also isn’t clear how any vessel could have floated to the dock since it is so close to the shore and the bay is very shallow at this part. I don’t know where I got that information so it may not be correct. It isn’t clear to me what the real name of this dock was but somehow I concluded it was perhaps called Perrine Dock. What little is left of the structure are the short wooden pile stumps erupting out of the sand. Jutting out into Raritan Bay in the southern most (Morgan) portion of Raritan Bay Waterfront Park is the remains of an old dock.
