Kraken Wreck

★★★★☆ (97)

The Kraken wreck is located 58 nautical miles off Galveston, TX into the Gulf of Mexico. On January 20, 2017 Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Ship-to-Reef program successfully sunk the 371-foot cargo vessel. The reef site, designated as HI-A-424, encompasses an area of 80 acres to explore beyond the immediate feature.

The Kraken is part of the Gulf of Mexico’s already robust expanse of artificial wrecks and reefs and in close proximity to NOAA’s Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS).
