North Carolina Wreck Diving®

This tanker was torpedoed and sunk on March 23, 1942 by the U-124. The ship currently is seperated into 3 distinct sections, the bow, the stern, and the pilot house area, and are all located a couple miles apart. The bow lies in 140 fsw, and the stern sits at approximately 90 fsw. This wreck is one of the most beautiful dives off the North Carolina Coast with a visability generally at 60 to 100+ ft. The diverse array of wildlife at this site will keep a diver entertained for a long time with a large variety of tropical fish; baitfish, african pampano, amberjack, grouper, and sandtiger sharks. With Its location so far off the coastline, our charters only visit this particular site on extended days.
