The ship was declared unsalvageable and Roy A. Jodrey's registry was closed on 7 October 1975.[2] The wreck lies in 77 metres (254 ft) of water at its deepest.[6] The bow comes up to 44 m (145 ft).[3] When the ship sank, it had aboard 50,000 US gallons (190,000 L) of fuel. Officials were initially concerned the fuel tanks would rupture and oil was spotted seeping from one of the ventilators. At the time, this was considered acceptable.[3] Algoma Central Railway replaced Roy A. Jodrey with Algosea, a German-flagged bulk carrier.[7]
In 2002, a cleanup project headed by the New York State Department of Environment Conservation removed some of the remaining oil.
