Leonora Wreck
Leonora
The two-masted ship of legendary pirate Bully Hayes, which sank off Utwe Harbor in 1874, is a historic wreck dive site
The Leonora was the ship of Bully Hayes, a notorious 19th-century American pirate and slave-trading captain. In 1874 she sank in a storm at Utwe Harbor, and legend says treasure was aboard. The wreck lies in shallow water and is mostly covered in coral. It suits certified divers, who can arrange a visit through local dive shops. It can be combined with the reef-slope dive sites near Utwe.
