north of French Reef. The Norwegian freighter sank April 9,
1942. It was sailing at night without lights because of the danger
of German submarines, and was rammed by the Robert C. Tuttle
Heading for shore it sunk by the stern. The bow is in 45' of water
and the stern rest in 300' of water. You start your dive on the bow
and work your way down the ship. At the end of the dive be careful
going back to the surface because of the heavy boat traffic in the area.
