USS Schurz (Wreck)
★★★★★
(108)
The USS Schurz is a 295 foot long World War I cruiser that is in 110 feet of water with the highest part, the boilers, rising to about 100 feet. It is sometimes locally called the “World War I wreck“. The wreck is spread out on the sandy bottom.
If you look under the deck plates, you can still see rifle ammunition in clips of five. There also is a deck gun lying in the sand. Steel ribs are visible in sand.
