The discovery was made after someone reported a strong smell of fuel coming from the river. The USCG Sector Delaware Bay responded and had contractors deploy boom and recovery equipment.

Not for navigation. The name is read automatically from official navigational warnings; a common name can belong to more than one ship, and a message may describe work the vessel is doing (cable, survey) rather than something that happened to it. Mariners must use official NAVAREA broadcasts and their national MSI service.
