About Alex Van Opstal Wreck

this was a huge Belgiun Passenger Liner. She was enroute from New York to Antwerp when she steered over a water mine on Shambles Banks in 1939. Today she rests on a sandy bottom, surrounded by gravel and rock formations. Beautiful corals envelop her and she has a excellent display of marine life. Lots to see and explore.
