What Happened to The Sunk Tugboat
Two years ago, a large tugboat boat was sunk in the Atlantic Ocean. Recently scuba divers and an underwater cameraman explored the wreck to document what it looks like today.
The sunken vessel has completely transformed into an underwater oasis teaming with marine life. Fish were everywhere and the tug was covered in growth, including coral. Several Goliath Grouper were observed as well as many other fish species.
The scuttled ship has become the underwater reef it was intended to be. The ocean environment is benefitting from its evolution and scuba divers and fishermen can now enjoy the new ocean destination accessible from Jacksonville Florida.

It is harder then one might think when trying to sink a ship intentionally. Vessels are engineered to float and will fight to do so. It took over two years to prepare this tugboat for sinking and she fought to stay afloat up to the very last minute. In this case we purposefully scuttled two vessels to create marine habitat and a new fishing and scuba diving location accessible when visiting Jac...

Did you hear that screaming at the last second? The owner changed his mind just before it went under.
"Do Not Try This at Home" Who would even have a tugboat at home?
I’m going right home now to SEA if I can do it why did you say DONT TRY THIS AT HOME NOW IM TRYING IT 😂😂😂 DONT TRY THIS AT HOME WHAT THE DUCK
I can’t wait to try this inside of My house
Just need to make sure that you're using materials that are not going to be harmful to the surroundings
AWESOME!!!!!!!
How big is that ⛴? In Length, Beam and Depth? If you don't know, I'll understand. Please and Thank you.
Hi i have subbed love your vids
Cool and thanks! Check out @UWPICVID for our most current projects.
Lots of life, but I think designers could learn from hobbyists in terms of what structures and how they interact, especially with detritis, are best for growing reefs. The bottom 1/4 of all of those tubs is full of junk that will never let stuff grown. The arch and connecting structures at 1:52 are obviously better and look more like an aquarium setup.
Come visit Florida. Scuba dive on a junk yard. Pretend you are still at home in Detroit.
🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍❤❤❤
I have an ocean at my home. Definitely gonna try this
Yeah like we have a ocean on our house
I will do this at home

“Don’t try this at home.” Like I have a tugboat and an ocean outside in my backyard
It's a joke.

Cant wait to for the summer to put my kids in basement on that tugboat
highly highly productive location for that old junk, well i guess you know where to put more of it if you want even bigger better results.
Too late
Do not try this at home And just how the fuck WOULD i do this at home?
Just blow the ship
That's a waste of explosives it's a tiny tug
My God that is really cool! I’m really interested in shipwrecks since I watched the Titanic movie. I’m gonna make a little experiment of that lol.
Kind of sad to watch as if the boat has a life, hope it find a new life and some good company on the sea floor❤

Wait so I can get my little boat and sink it?
This looks deliberate, the doors and windows look like they have been removed to facilitate the sinking.
See the update video showing the vessel underwater today ruclips.net/video/tNQayezOnQg/видео.html
Why sink it?
To create marine habitat and an underwater destination.
would've made a really cool houseboat,..
it is a house for the fishes now
Artificial reef programs are amazing.
indeed!
Gives me an idea for dinner!!

It takes a lot of competent people to pull these type of projects off safely and effectively.
