San Jacinto
Wreck
The San Jacinto was the first steam vessel with propellers built by Americans. The ship was sunk in 1865 during the US Civil War. Now the ship’s remains are densely covered with corals, housing hundreds of reef fish. Diving at this site and exploring the San Jacinto wrecks would be a great adventure for history lovers. Divers can examine boilers and pieces of the stern. The rest of the ship has degraded into steel rubble.
