DEEP FREEZE Miami

The Deep Freeze was built in 1958 by J.J. Sietas Schiffswerft, in Hamburg. She was originally named Marie Horn and renamed in 1969 when she was sold. This diesel engine refrigerator freighter was owned by Trans Caribbean Lines of Monrovia and managed by Trans Caribbean Agencies of Miami. The Deep Freeze was 231 feet long, had a 33.5 foot beam and displaced 1,138 gross tons.

Lloyd's of London reports that she burnt off of Port Limon on July 1, 1972, and she was subsequently dismantled. She now rests in 135 feet of water with her top deck reachable at 100 feet.

Due to the monofilament lines on this wreck and the heavy buildup of silt, the Deep Freeze is only recommended for advanced divers. Be sure to bring a knife for the monofilament.
