The Cristóbal Colón

Although the HMS Vixen is the most well-known shipwreck in Bermuda, the Cristóbal Colón, a luxury liner of Spanish origin, is the largest. The 499-foot ship set sail in 1923 before colliding with a coral reef a decade later, in 1936.

Her wreckage is strewn across the north shore reef, which spans 100,000 square feet of ocean floor in 2021, is a genuine treasure trove of fascinating curios for both naval historians and aquatic enthusiasts.Locals plundered her badly in the past, and her descendants proudly display their loot now. Today, such looting is frowned upon.
