The Wreck Today: The wreck lies widely scattered on a sand and rock bottom. There is a large stock anchor, wood, and many metal parts. The steamer Quito sunk in this same area in 1902 and pieces of the two wrecks are intermingled on the bottom.
CAUTION: Watch for heavy boat traffic. A dive flag is needed though many boaters are ignorant of its meaning.
