Thats a topographic rendering error. We have few on the East Coast as well. There was one recently in Atlantic near Azores/Canari or something, that looked like Atlantis LOL

If the top of the photo is North, that looks like a tank (or, land vehicle of some kind) at the north east top of the photo and a boat (or, cylinder) on the South east section.

Its definitely a goof. Looks like a ghost image of a barge (still floating - notice the extensive shadows) that somehow incorrectly appears in this section of the mosaic...

My first thought is a dredger, since to the eastern end there appears to be something extending into the water, maybe a pumping pipe to shore. But it does appear to be floating, not submerged.

Now I think we're homing in on it. I do know that they dredged out several channels south of this stretch of beach and pumped millions of yards of sand back up onto these beaches several years ago to limit the natural erosion. That could very well be a barge that was in place to pump sand.
However, I'll allow that shadows would still appear even underwater if the depth is only 19 feet as indicated on GE.
Inasmuch as nothing shows on the aids to navigation, I'm beginning to think it's a barge in place when the images were recorded. It's just not really clear like I would expect a surface ship that large to be.
Oh well, there's only one way to know for sure.......:goingdown:
