This vessel, which sank in 1885 after colliding with a rock while transporting coffee, is now largely dismantled, with remnants such as the machinery and rudder still identifiable. The wreck serves as an artificial reef and is located near a series of coral pinnacles, providing a habitat for diverse marine life. Notably, a large grouper has made this wreck its home and can often be seen during dives.
