The Produce Wreck was created in 1974 when Norwegian tanker sank just off the coast near the town of Umkomaas, striking the Aliwal Shoal on the Northeast Pinnacles. It is a 119m/390ft long and 13500 ton tanker which now lies on her side and offers shelter to a wide variety of fish. The wreck is broken up in two main parts: the bow, which still has a spare propeller, and the stern. Both parts are surprisingly well preserved and are safe to be explored by divers.
