Dive-site story
Resting upright on an even keel just outside Willemstad's harbor entrance, this coastal freighter sank in late 1977 after shifting cargo compromised its stability. Encrusted in orange cup corals and tube sponges, the steel hull provides accessible cargo holds and a recognizable wheelhouse for certified wreck divers. Because of its proximity to the cruise terminal, access depends strictly on port vessel schedules.
Intact superstructure with wide cargo bays open to ambient light
Dense covering of orange cup corals coating the hull and deck fittings
Schools of predatory fish using the hull for shelter against coastal currents
