Dive-site story
The Minnie Breslauer lies scattered along the south reef line after wrecking on her maiden voyage in early 1873. Iron hull framing, steam machinery, and twisted plates are distributed across white sand corridors and fringing corals. Divers can navigate along the visible shaft leading directly to the intact propeller, while schools of reef fish shelter inside the shadowed crevices of the remaining boiler.
Prominent four-bladed iron propeller and drive shaft resting intact on the sand
Massive upright steam boiler encrusted with sea fans and encrusting sponges
Scattered hull framework forming artificial overhangs for resting wildlife
