Wreck

Pecio Cristóbal Colón (Bermudas)

A Spanish luxury liner of 152 m (499 feet) launched in 1923, the most advanced ship of her day. In November 1936 she ran onto the reef east of North Rock while sailing from Cardiff to Veracruz; she was carrying no passengers and all 160 crew were rescued. She is the largest shipwreck in Bermudian waters: the remains are spread over some 100,000 square feet of seabed, split on either side of the reef between 4 and 18 m.

Pecio Mary Celestia (Bermudas)

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.
