The wreck
Originally the Newtown Creek, the ship was retired from service in 2014 and became an artificial reef in 2016. Prior to sinking, metal sculpture Dennis MacDonald created casino-themed displays atop the hull. Due to the depth, this wreck is best suited for divers with advanced training or equivalent experience.
