READ ABOUT THIS WRECK IN SHIPWRECKS OF THE SUNSHINE STATE!

A Honduran freighter, the Baja California was built in 1914 in Sutherland, England. She boasted a length of 266' and a beam of 38'. Owned by Mayan S.S. Corporation, she was en route to Key West from New Orleans carrying a general cargo when a torpedo from U-84 struck the ship. She eventually sunk in 115' of water.

She sits upright with large intact sections, though canted to port. Part of her cargo consisted of numerous bottles which can now be found throughout the wreck site. Heavily encrusted, she is home to many large jewfish. During the late summer, jewfish aggregations with upwards of 100 individuals can be found here. Due to her distance offshore, the wreck also has good artifact potential.
