Bianca C Wreck

Bianca C

An Italian cruise ship that caught fire and sank off St. George's in 1961. At 180 meters long, it is known as the 'Titanic of the Caribbean' and is a popular dive site.

The Italian liner Bianca C suffered an engine-room explosion and fire while docked at St. George's in 1961. While being towed out of the harbour, it sank in about 50 meters of water, making it one of the largest wreck dive sites in the Caribbean. The deck lies about 30-40 meters deep, and currents are common. Diving requires an advanced open-water or deep-diving certification and is led by dive shops in Grand Anse. Near the Carenage harbour stands a bronze statue of Christ of the Abyss, commemorating the rescue efforts, which is worth a stop.
