Default Re: Gas Buoy - Shrewsbury Rocks

The HA and BA Sea Lanes and approaches are well offshore of Shrewsbury Rocks.

The inshore and off shore Shrewsbury Rocks buoys had nothing to do with the sea lanes.

I always understood this buoy to mark the rocks as a guide for tanker and tugboat / barge traffic taking the most inshore southerly route along the coastline heading in or out of Sandy Hook or the Hudson. Makes no sense to me those buoys were removed but hey let's just wait for the next Valdez and we can put them back then.
