Missing Triton Ferry Bermuda | Blue Horizon Diving
Searching for the missing Triton ferry in Bermuda.
The 65 foot ferry Triton was scuttled in May 1988, with an intended distance of seven miles off the southwest side of the island, as a dive site by the Bermuda Divers Association (BDA). However, during a squall the ferry took on water and sank before her intended location.
This was a time before GPS was common on civilian boats and the wreck was officially recorded as lost.
Before her sinking, great care was taken to clean her and make her safe for divers. According to Mike Burke, she should be sitting in about 55 to 80 feet of water and once found will make a good dive site.
In 2003, three divers called Wayne, Chris and Giovanni found the wreck using old notes. The wreck was fully intact until Hurricane Fabian came through resulting in extensive damage. The trio dived the wreck again in 2007 to see the extent of the damage.
However, over the years the wreck location became a mystery again. The old notes on the location were lost with time and so was the wreck.
Having sat at the bottom of the ocean untouched and unseen since 2006. Another three divers ventured out in August 2019 to try and rediscover this disappearing wreck.
John, Sarah and Mark headed out in search and this is our adventure, enjoy!

Bermuda Vacation 1931~Cedar Forest, Point Pleasant Hotel, Coral Gardens & Heavy Traffic in Hamilton
A Bermuda Vacation from 1931 - Some charming chapter cards, rare views of Hamilton & glass bottom row boats viewing the Coral Gardens
Arrival at Hamilton aboard the MS Bermuda, past the Hamilton Princess, the Miles complex complete with chimney and the 1st Bermudiana Hotel. Docking at Front Street with the Hamilton Hotel looming over the city.
Horse and Carriages await their hires under a Bicycles for Hire sign and a glimpse of a quarry can be seen high above (sign probably says stay away). Any idea where this is?
Fishing at Devil's Hole, the young girl is definitely a future angler!
Bananas - likely the first time seen growing on trees, a big patch in the cedar forest. They are next to a road (a sign can be seen) and then outside a cave. Signs at entrance say Kodaks Allowed & No Smoking Allowed Any Idea where this is?
A walk around the forest then on to the shore along the rocky coastline. Cedars can be seen along the edge of a large flat grassy area.
Back to Hamilton, the sheds of Front Street from the water. the steam ferry Triton at 4:15 , an undeveloped Trimingham Hill and the Paget shoreline. A bucket dredger is at anchor off of Whites Island (probably the King George).
Great footage of Front Street and the Point Pleasant Hotel (Today this is Albouy's Point also known as Point Pleasant Park). The BF&M building under construction behind it next to The Bank of Bermuda. The Blucks cottage is seen then past the Bermudiana Hotel with a forest of cedars in its garden. Barrs Bay Park, the large home Scarborough (where the BF&M Building is today) then the cottages along Pitts Bay Road (only 1 exists today)
A close up of a glass bottom row boat that is about to be towed off of North Shore. A shot of the Hamilton Princess pool house and cottages, then past a bathing hut (Pitts Bay Road?) and Hog Fish Beacon.
Our trip is on the Ferry Carona with the front deck full of people ready to be rowed out in the glass bottom boats to view the Coral Gardens. A view of North Shore before the trip back to Hamilton, lots of sailboats are in the sound.
Back at dock, its heavy traffic with a fantastic view of traffic passing the Walker Arcade building left and O H Loblein's store on the right (now Archie Brown / Marks and Spencer). A very interesting view into daily life.
We end with a diver in suite taking a break on the dock.
Some history on the Ferry Carona: Built in 1887 as the ‘Ossining’ for service on the Hudson River, she was purchased and steamed to Bermuda in 1902 to supply the Boer War (1899-1902) prison camps and subsequently served the Somerset-Hamilton ferry route. Taken out of service in 1959 and burned and sunk off Wreck Hill on October 16, 1960. Thank you Derek!

Abandoned Ships in the Caribbean
From ships purposely sunk to create coral reefs, to shipwrecks of Spanish galleons, here are abandoned ships in the Caribbean
Subscribe to American Eye
5. Abandoned Ship Turks Caicos
The corals reefs are evidence that things which are beautiful, can also be deadly. Some estimate that the Turks and Caicos are home to over 1000 shipwrecks including this cargo ship known as the mega one triton. This is a recently wrecked ship that washed up ashore after hurricane sandy and has been rusting away ever since. Many consider it to be an eye sore and a possible hazard to beach goers, while others would argue that it’s kind of cool and want to stay. This is also found not too far away from the Governors residence in waterloo so it’s likely it’ll be removed one day. The beach here doesn’t get overly crowded and seems like a nice island getaway. The ship is mostly above water so you have to imagine it would be a good place for crabs or birds to take shelter. Maybe even pirates? Who knows.
4.Spanish Galleon shipwreck
Found near the Dominican, this is the type of discovery archeologists dream of! About 4000 feet deep lies two shipwreck complete with cannons, musket balls as well as large amounts of wine and gin to go a long. Oh yeah and don’t forget about the quicksilver that helped spain mine for gold. Due to the depth, the ship has for the most part been completed. The wreck was discovered during an oil and gas survey, looking for the next place to build a oil rig. Most of the wood was eroded but the copper frame was still in tact, as well as the kitchen. What exactly was the ship’s origins? Some claim it might have came from pirates from Texas around time of the Texas Revolution or Mexican American War. The research will act as a time capsule from the past and give us a better understanding of the daily lives of whoever manned this boat.
3. SS Antilla
The title for the largest shipwreck in the caribbean is the MS Antilla, which is found in Aruba. Once used as a german freighter ship, the crew had decided to set it ablazed to prevent the allies from seizing the goods in 1939. Their route home back to Germany was blocked by the US British at French and the dutch were sent to seize the vessel. All detainees however, were taken on a banana boat to jamaica. Today it serves as a huge scuba diving hotspot and even serves as a hawksbill turtle sanctuary. The ship went on to take more damage from a hurricane in 1953 causing it to break apart. Many feel as though the ship is no longer to safely be
explored. Would you take the chance of scuba diving in a possibly dangerous shipwreck?
2. Northern Light Shipwreck
Also known as the Elbow Wreck, this ship once travelled from the Great Lakes and through the mississippi river before making its final resting place in key largo florida. It was even one of the first american steam hull ships built in the late 1890’s. The large ship was about to transformed into a formidable traveller of the 7 seas in the 1900’s but the owner changed his mind. During the economic hardships of the Great Depression, they decided to set the ship ablaze and collect insurance money. However this idea would turn out to be a failure and the insurance company never paid the scammer. Today, experienced scuba divers plunge about 150 to 190 feet underwater to take a look at the broken ships. Many claim this is one of the best scuba diving spots in the Florida keys for tourists to take advantage of, but of course, it might still be dangerous.
1.Spiegel Grove Wreck
The key largo community set to sink another ship, this time it was the spiegel grove, a US Navy Landing Ship Dock. This was a 510 retired ship that could be used to create an artificial ecosystem for coral and fish. It was formerly apart of the mothball fleet which were a bunch of abandoned naval ships that were being kept as surplus. The ship was relocated and during this process, it sank during a storm. Luckily, no one was injured, and it still sank in a good spot. Many scientists and biologists are excited to see the results of this potential habitat and scuba divers are lining up to drop in. There's even an american flag still attached to the top like you see in this photo.
Hermes Wreck Bermuda | Blue Horizon Diving
Adventure of the Hermes Wreck in Bermuda.
Built in 1943 in Pennsylvania, the Hermes was originally used as a U.S. Coast Guard buoy tender until the end of World War II.
The steel vessel featured a tall mast forward of the wheelhouse and was fitted with a single cargo boom. The cargo hatch itself was on the foredeck – a unique design to accommodate raising and lowering navigation buoys for repair and replacement.
After being decommissioned, the ship was turned into a freighter registered in Panama under the name Brava Fogo, which relocated to the Philippines to carry mixed cargo.
In 1983, en route from Rhode Island to the Cape Verde Islands, the small freighter experienced engine trouble off the coast of Bermuda and barely reached St. Georges Harbour. There was no money available for repairs and the crew hadn’t been paid any wages for months, so the ship was abandoned. Even the cargo of second-hand gifts had little value.
The Bermudan Government took possession of the ship and sold her to the Bermuda Dive Association for the sum of one U.S. dollar. The Hermes was thoroughly cleaned and made ‘diver friendly’ before being towed approximately one mile off the south shore near Horseshoe Bay.
The ship was more than 40 years old when she was scuttled on May 15, 1984 to become an artificial reef and dive site.
Current Conditions:
The wreck of the Hermes is one of Bermuda’s most popular dive sites, located approximately 1.8 km south of Warwick Long Bay Beach and teeming with marine life.
She lies almost fully intact and upright on a flat sand bottom at a depth of 23m/75ft against the deep reef after the wreck shifted 200 yards during Hurricane Emily in 1985.
The top of the crew area is 15m/50ft from the surface, and underwater visibility is usually very good at around 30m/100ft most of the year.
Divers can either skirt around the outside of the wreck or penetrate deep within. Main features include the engines, mast, toilet, wash basin and cargo boom, which used to pick up the buoys. While small, the vessel is popular with divers and photographers because she is completely intact.

Mariana Trench: Record-breaking journey to the bottom of the ocean - BBC News
An American explorer has descended nearly 11km (seven miles) to the deepest place in the ocean - the Mariana Trench in the Pacific.
Victor Vescovo spent four hours exploring the bottom of the trench with the risk of his submersible imploding if anything were to go wrong.
The dive was later verified to be 10,972m and Victor became the first person to reach the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean.

Last Log Entry of Leg 1: Part 1a of 3
Date of video: June 17, 2011
Place: S/V Cuddy anchored up in St. Georges Harbour, Bermuda
Time: Sometime after dark
This is the first part of the last video log entry for Leg 1 of an intended solo sail across the Atlantic to Portugal. The entire log entry is around 45 minutes. I am not sure if I will upload all of it, but Part 1b of 3 will be uploaded. I said something negative about someone in Part 1, so I have cut that part of the video out...a choice I am making because the essence of this voyage...no matter what the destination is Peace...I will keep this positive since at the end of the day, this experience has been the most positive period of my life.
At the present moment, November 9, 2011, I am sitting in the office of West End Yachts, Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda awaiting the passing of Tropical Storm Sean. I am here because I am going to set sail on the S/V Cuddy (my little She as I call her) back to North Carolina. The Cuddy is fixed now, but this is not the right time of year to sail to the Azores. The most intelligent course to take would be to head due south to the West Indies and I will if the weather changes while I am at sea, but my dog Lucky is waiting for me back in NC...so that is my intended course.
Changing Course is just that...a course changed. The physical destination of Lisbon, Portugal is a place I will sail to someday...this I know..this I feel. I started this journey in search of something, but back then I knew not what I was looking for. Through this experience, I did find the thing...I found my Self...I found my Soul...I found my Home...which is my Heart...and my Heart can go wherever it pleases...Wilmington, Bermuda or Lisbon...all places are there.
Perhaps this coming Saturday13th or Sunday the 14th of November 2011, I will be able to depart for North Carolina...but I have to wait for the proper weather window...and TS Sean I will respectfully wait for his passing to the north.
Update:
I was able to set sail from Bermuda on November 29, 2011 bound for the Bahamas due to unstable weather coming off the North Carolina Coast. My intention was to sail to the Bahamas, cross over to southern Florida and sail up the coast to Wilmington, NC. Halfway to the Bahamas, I received a message via sat pager from Masonboro Yacht Club in Wilmington, that the weather systems were tracking farther north and I could turn west to southern Georgia. I made the turn and over the course of the next several days, I continued slowing turning more northward around the weather systems and sailed into Masonboro Inlet, North Carolina on the 9th day at sea. The sail to the West was wonderful and much different from the sail to the East. I have footage of both trips and a compilation of the sail to the West can be viewed on this site by going here:
I am currently writing a book about the experience using fictional characters in the third person called Path of Three Hundred. Expcerpts from the book can be seen at
Peace to you,
Greg Frucci

Pollockshields Wreck Bermuda | Blue Horizon Diving
Built in 1890 in Hamburg and originally named the Herodot, this large German cargo steamer powered by a 281-horsepower triple-expansion engine was sold in 1904 to the Hamburg America Line and renamed the Graecia. When World War I broke out, the ship was outfitted as a German naval supply vessel and sailed from New York to the Azores in August 1914. The following October, the vessel was captured by the H.M.S. Argonaut. The British Government renamed her the Pollockshields, for use as a munitions carrier.
On August 22, 1915, with a crew of 37 and a cargo of World War I provisions and 350 tons of live ammunition, including shells and gunpowder, the Pollockshields left Cardiff, Wales. In early September, the steamer encountered a ‘white squall’ – with dense fog and hurricane-force winds. When the fog lifted on September 7, 1915, the crew saw the color of the water and knew the ship was in trouble. Ten minutes later, she struck a reef near Elbow Beach. Captain Ernest Boothe sent out a distress signal, waking guests at the South Shore Hotel (now called the Elbow Beach Hotel) and attracting people from all over the island. Rescuers made five trips in a whaleboat through the heavy surf to take the crew ashore. All crew members were rescued, but Captain Boothe was swept overboard and drowned.
The wreck now lies at a max depth of 12m/40ft.

Refreshing fishing in Bermuda island
Inside the personal submarine that takes you to depths of 95 meters - TomoNews
TWENTE, NETHERLANDS — Dutch engineering company Ortega Submersibles has developed an underwater vehicle that can ferry divers to depths of 95 meters — more than twice a deep as most recreational divers can swim.
The vessel is named the named the Mk. 1C. According to information posted on the Ortega Submersibles website and a press kit from the company, the submersible can carry three people and 350 liters of cargo, meaning divers can carry more air or equipment as required.
The 570 kg vessel is powered by two 10 kilowatt hour electric thrusters. These propel it at speeds of up to 16.7 kilometers per hour on the ocean surface, and 20 kilometers per hour underwater. The submersible has lightweight batteries that allow it to operate for 11 hours.
The Mk. 1C also features on-board navigational equipment for below and above water as well as on-board air supply for each passenger.
Ortega says its designs are based on the World War II Royal Air Force motorized submersible canoe project Sleeping Beauty. These were used by British forces for clandestine reconnaissance missions.
Recreational scuba divers can usually swim to depths of between 30 and 40 meters depending on their training agency.

Kenai Fjords Boat Rough Water
This is a short clip when our boat went outside of the protected fjords to get to and from some of our destinations. It was a very short duration 5-6' sea and building. The boat is a large cat hull with a pair of diesels. I posted this because there are plans for a jet-ski race through this very area next year! It's part of the 2000 mile Alaskan Wet Dog Race. 4 people barfed on this ride! :)
