The Sapona was a 270-foot vessel built in 1904. It was used by rum-runner between the Bahamas and Florida during Prohibition. She sunk during an hurricane in 1926.

Over half of the ship is visible above water, so it is a very popular wreck for snorkellers.

It was also used for target and bombing practice during World War II

Great night dive. This is a must for underwater photographers: marine life is impressive, maybe this is due of its location?

Take care of the boat traffic in this area.

In 90 feet of water lays Sheri-Lynn, a 235-foot freighter. It took 400 pounds of high-explosives to bring this ship down. Dutch-built, she carried a small crew as she was launched in 1952 and used for shipping. When she had been docked for several years without use, it was assumed that this ship was abandoned and ownership was gained by the Department of Environmental Resource Management.

The vessel took a hard hit from Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and was spread across a wide area. Her bow lies 60 feet away from the rest of the wreck. This allowed for increased marine life to inhabit the remains. Although prior to this she was intact and upright, she now has a larger variety of sea life. She has many foot holes cut through bulkheads that allow for exploration. South of the bow lies 50 Chevron tanks, each 30 feet long and 8 feet in diameter with the ends cut off. Twenty cement-mixer tanks also lie near by. The variety of wreckage provides home to large amounts of pelagic life.



Sheri-Lynn

Shamrock is located 3.5 miles north of Government cut near the southern end of the Anchorage Artificial Reef. This 120-foot steel troop-landing craft was sunk in 1985 to form an artificial reef.

This dive ranges in depth from 16 to 45 feet. Her hull is broken although she suffered little damage during 1992's Hurricane Andrew.
