= Wreck of the Cartanza Señor (south side) =

The Cartanza originally sank in Charlotte Amalie harbor (under mysterious circumstances), but because it was a navigation hazard, it was towed just outside Buck Island Cove and sunk in 80 feet of water. Several hurricanes later, the 130-foot freighter now rests in the center of the cove in 3 pieces. There is one portion of the site you can actually swim through. We regularly see cushion stars as well as a host of other abundant fish life on this wreck. The maximum dive depth is 50 feet.
