City of Washington (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(1,009)
The most popular wreck on Elbow Reef is the City of Washington. As this ship was being towed in 1917, the City of Washington struck Elbow Reef and sank within minutes. This wreck is greatly deteriorated, although the hull and keel shapes are still visible. Debris spans an area 325 feet in length.
The barracuda, morays, and nurse sharks have been hand-fed for many years and have very little fear of divers.
