Tug Orange (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(219)
The Tug Orange is an 80ft tug boat that sits upright in 45ft of water. It is part of the Pinellas County Artificial Reef Program. The tug was built in 1903 as an 80-foot long, steel-hulled harbor tug. Orange was a workhorse used to push railroad barges in the New York Harbor.
You’ll see the typical Gulf of Mexico Caribbean fish species like stingrays, snapper, triggerfish, hogfish, and possible sandbar, blacknose, and bonnethead sharks.
