Spotted something wrong?

A paddle steamer from the American Civil War era, used as a blockade runner, which struck a reef and sank. She lies at around 17 m and is remarkably well preserved for her age: the intact paddle wheel, the engine, the bow, the stern, the boilers and the anchor are all still visible.

Did you know

En 2015 se recuperaron del pecio varias botellas de vino de más de 150 años, que se enviaron a sumilleres de Charleston para catarlas. No hay que confundirlo con el Mary Celeste, el famoso buque hallado a la deriva y sin tripulación frente a las Azores en 1872: son barcos distintos con nombres casi idénticos.
