Key Biscayne wreck location
Submitted by randall df223 on Fri, 2013-05-31 19:42
I was discussing the Key Biscayne wreck with someone today, and thought I would check it out. Can someone confirm that it is the wreck marked on the chart about 10nm bearing about 250 from the Ledge Point leads? Sitting in about 26m of water?
latitude 31 10.099
longitude 115 11.600

Cheers! 42 metres up to 26
Cheers! 42 metres up to 26 metres should be pretty easy to pick up on the sounder!

Paul's post above is pretty much the same as my mark. From memory the wreck is around 500meters north east of where its marked on the Navionics charts.
