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.
Remember
penetration
into any shipwreck should only be done by those with proper
training, experience and
wreck diving equipment.
Scuba equipment like powerful
dive lights,
navigation reels,
dive knives
as well as redundant air supply like a
pony bottle
or
doubles are standard gear for wreck
divers. Colonies of spiny
oysters cover the deck of the wreck, and large fish such as grouper,
jack and barracuda can also be seen.
