Rumor has it this portable porcelain pooper came from the nearby Ruby E, an artificial reef formed by the sinking of this former US Coast Guard cutter.  The Ruby E was sunk in 1989 and is now home to carpets of tiny colorful corynactis anthozoans, nudibranchs, schooling blacksmith, and an occasional octopus.  As of March 2022, this toilet bowl was sitting in the sand on the port side surrounded by tube anemones, a resident giant halibut and rainbow nudibranchs—Melissa Foo
