Four mooring buoys sit over the wreckage, with reef and Fowey Rocks Lighthouse in sight to the north. Designed by John G. Alden and built in steel by George Lawley & Son in 1928 for Dr. Henry D. Lloyd of Brookline, Massachusetts at a cost of $177,000, she was launched as Hardi Biou, sold and renamed Valor in 1931, then bought, refitted and renamed Mandalay by Michael Burke of Windjammer Cruises in 1965, mahogany, brass and a teak deck. Returning from a ten-day Bahamas cruise with 23 passengers and 12 crew, she was driven hard aground on Long Reef in the early hours of New Year's Day 1966, the captain had miscalculated his distance off Fowey Rocks and was 20 miles off course, with a novice at the helm. Three Coast Guard helicopters lifted 24 people off one at a time in a 10ft sea; the only injury was a cut hand. Anchorage: No shelter; a settled-weather day run from Miami or Homestead. Pick up one of the four park buoys, anchoring on the coral or the wreckage is prohibited. Hazards: Open reef with no shelter and shallow steel in a swell. Moorings only, and the wreck is a protected archaeological site, look, do not lift. More
