This 510-foot vessel is the third to become part of the artificial reef program off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. In a joint effort with local charter boat operators, Indiana University has begun research to produce a recreational diver map which will make navigation of this 12-deck vessel a little easier to plan.

Launched in November 1955, the vessel has a long history of action in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
