(Re)? Located by Charter operators out of Collins Bay this scuttled steamer was most likely from the clean up of either Kingston Harbour or Portsmouth harbour during the 1920's and 1930's.

This wreck is in 60ft of water and has a lot to offer, a large propeller, boiler and lots of kneels. A large rudder is also present at the stern. With lots of fish this will be a great dive for the beginners or even a night dive

As of October 2002 there was no mooring installed, so use a marker line and anchor off the wreck
