Broken into two sections, the bow lies almost intact on its side in 24m with a huge swim-through, the stern in 9m with the bronze propeller and a famous 'lucky porthole' polished bright by decades of rubbing. Silver tarpon, huge barracuda, spotted eagle rays. A 310ft Royal Mail steamer, considered unsinkable, caught by the San Narciso hurricane on 29 October 1867. She tried to run for open sea, struck Black Rock Point, and cold water hit her boilers, she exploded and broke apart, killing around 123. The Caribbean's most historic dive, and the wreck used in the 1977 film 'The Deep'. Anchorage: No overnight anchoring at Salt Island, day moorings in the BVI Wreck of the Rhone Marine Park. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
