The Cristobal Colon

This 499-foot Spanish luxury liner is the largest known shipwreck in Bermuda. Launched in 1923, this transatlantic luxury liner was the most advanced design of her time. She was wrecked on October 25, 1936, when she wedged herself into a coral reef at a speed of 15 knots. Today, she lies in 30 to 55 feet of water with her wreckage scattered across 100,000 square feet of sea floor. She offers great exploration of her six boilers, steam turbines, propellers, drive shafts, and hundreds of ship parts. The wreck has also become a haven for large groupers and a variety of reef fish.
