Alicia Wreck

The Alicia Wreck offers snorkelers a unique opportunity to explore a piece of maritime history within the beautiful Biscayne National Park. This 19th-century iron-hulled steamship, which met its fate in 1890, now rests in shallow waters ranging from 16 to 20 feet deep. The wreckage is scattered across the seabed, with metal structural beams and iron frames providing a fascinating underwater landscape. Over the years, these remnants have become a thriving habitat for a variety of marine life, including vibrant coral formations and schools of tropical fish. Snorkelers can enjoy a close-up view of this underwater ecosystem while imagining the ship's storied past. The site is part of the Biscayne National Park Maritime Heritage Trail, making it an educational and enriching experience for history buffs and marine enthusiasts alike.
