This shore excursion was easy to get to, walk along the pier to the end of the ship, turn right and the it was there waiting for us to board. It was about a 90 minute ride on a 75 foot boat, around the point, and to a nearby reef and sunken ship. The reefs in Bermuda are loosely formed, with somewhat healthy corals. The sunken ship, is not a shipwreck. It was a British navy ship, a cast iron clad wooden ship. The ship was corroding badly, and it was determined that it was not feasible to return it to England for repairs. There was a deep chanel that allowed access to the port, that the Navy really wanted to close off. So they stripped the ship, packed it with explosives, towed it out and sunk it. They used too many explosives and split the ship in half, driving the bow up onto the shallows, where it still sticks out of the water.
I would love this!
ReplyDeleteIt was very fun.
DeleteSo many fish and sharks. It looks like a great experience.
ReplyDeleteThe sunken ship is a no-fishing zone, the fish week to know where they are safe.
DeleteA worthy excursion.

DeleteI've never done one of those tours yet with a glass bottom. But I think I'd like to do that one day which might be sooner than later. Although in P town I've done many whale watches. That's an excellent place to whale watch.
ReplyDeleteWe have done glass-bottoms twice, great fun
