WRK-28-7232
The Ida K was a World War II subchaser. It was brought to Point Pleasant in 1977 for use as a trawler and scallop boat at the beginning of the New Jersey scallop boom. By this time the vessel was already well worn and near the end of its life. It was re-powered with twin inline-6 diesels, but the old hull was leaky and decrepit, and the strain of trawling finished it. The vessel was deliberately sunk by its owner. The original Navy designation is unknown
