[edit] Description
This 177' steel-hulled barge sank in 1945.
This very well-preserved wreck has several points of interest. The bowsprit is almost perfect, with the chains still hanging in place. The ship's wheel is still at the stern, from which the rudder is also visible. It is possible to penetrate this wreck and swim from hatch to hatch.
[edit] Access
This is a boat dive done by mooring to the SOS buoy at this location. The buoy leads to roughly midship on the starboard side of the wreck.
[edit] Hazards
Depth and water temperature are the main hazards while diving here.
