The King George: The King George is the only dredger out of three built for the Bermuda Government that still remains here. She is Bermuda’s largest, fully intact wreck. Arriving to the island in 1911, the King George was no longer needed for harbour operations by 1930. The ship was towed to a position 5 miles inside of North Rock and left to sink to the bottom of the ocean floor.
Highlight: Intact, Mysterious
Today, the surprisingly intact and upright ship sometimes gives off an eerie and mysterious feel to the site, giving visitors a thrilling dive experience.
