| BECONSHIRE Vero Beach
This wreck, which is also known as the Boiler Wreck, was built in
1833 by Sunderland SB Co. in Sunderland, England. Originally named
the Numida, she was 299.7 feet long, had a 37.2 foot beam, displaced
2,544 gross tons and was powered by a 250 nhp compound engine. The
Beconshire was owned by Jenkins & Co. of London and was en route
from New York to Tampa when she wrecked on April 30, 1894, at Bethel
Creek.
The wreck now rests in 15 to 20 feet of water only 150 yards
offshore. In fact this dive is often done as a beach dive. Divers
wanting to find the wreck should head east on St Rd 60 to the end.
The wreck will be found 150 yards east, off the beach. The wreck's
boiler protrudes through the surface. Divers will be able to
recognize her boiler, winches, her engine and other machinery. The
wrecks mast can be found about 50 feet south of her boiler.
