This would help you get an idea of what’s really there.

The approach is the issue, not the canal. Local knowledge is none as it is primarily shallow powerboats in the canal. Water depth on the approach looks fine on the chart at 10-14’ but this is New York harbor so who really knows what it is today (g). Two obstructions are listed - submerged pilings and a distributed wreck. What is the norm for charting depths around these obstructions? How would one know what the water depth is over the wreck? You’d think I’d know this by now but in the past I always had the luxury of just steering around them!
