Wreck of the Sapona - Bimini, Bahamas

The 270-foot Sapona was built by Henry Ford in 1911. She served as a troop transport for just one trip during World War I. After the war, the Sapona was used by rumrunners between the Bahamas and Florida during Prohibition. Some say she was anchored and turned in to a private drinking and gambling club or simply a storage warehouse for rum. A hurricane in the late 1920s drove the ship aground between South Bimini and Cat Cay, where she only partially submerged. Today, the Sapona is very popular with divers and snorklers. A large portion of the ship remains above water.

I was there aboard by sailboat and had a dingy. You could probably find someone with a boat to take you there as its not far.

The Sapona was a cargo steamship launched in 1920 and is the sister ship of the Cape Fear. In 1926 the Sapona ran aground on this reef during a hurricane and during WW2 was used for target practice by the Air Force and Navy. The Sapona wreck was used in a 1977 movie called "Shock Waves".

The Sampona is a great wreck to visit. The fact that the ship was made out of concrete is mind boggling. Unfortunately during a hurricane in 2005 or 2006, the back end that used to stand out of the water collapsed and is not visible out of the water anymore. Does anyone know which hurricane did this?
