CANNABIS CRUISER
Islamorada
This drug smuggling 75 foot trawler was on its way to the states
when the crew decided that surveillance was too heavy and agreed to
sink the vessel. About five years latter, divers, Buddy Brown and
Bob Guenther, discovered the wreck five miles off Islamorada. The
wreck was completely intact in 110 feet of water including her radar
and Loran electronics and cargo of contraband marijuana. Buddy told
us how he busted the dogs on a hatch, and several 20 to 30 pound
bails of marijuana rocketed to the surface. The two divers looked
around the wreck, then surfaced and called the Coast Guard.
Photographer Stephen Frink wrote an article on the wreck and came up
with the name Cannabis Cruiser. Today the Cannabis Cruiser or Pot
Wreck is broken up but makes an interesting deep dive. She is
usually loaded with marine life including jacks, grouper, hogfish,
angles and an occasional shark.
