Papoose (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(125)
The Papoose is a 412-foot tanker that was torpedoed by the U-124 on March 18, 1942. The ship is largely intact and rests upside down in 125 feet of water.
Sitting upside down in the sand, the Papoose is one of the most popular NC wrecks for seeing the current inhabitants, sand tiger sharks!
