  • This sailboat sank offshore Jacksonville Florida and landed on the seafloor 90 feet below. The vessel was intentionally scuttled to create a new scuba diving destination. This video shows the the process, from a point of view perspective, of how the ship was sunk.
    This was one of two boats purposefully sunk in a recent effort to create new ocean habitat off the coast of northeast Florida. The two ships were recycled in a unique fashion that will benefit the ocean environment and provide a recreational destination for fishermen and scuba divers.
    The GPS coordinates for those who wish to visit the diving site are below.
    30°22.011' N
    80°54.320' W

    Heck, WHY??
    Alloy built boat could be brought back to life!
    Beautiful, timeless design, I saw much worse looking boats afloat.

      This vessel sat for many years with that intention and it never happened. It was ultimately determined more valuable to the community and environment to create an artificial reef habitat.
