TRIO BRAVO Bower County
 This ice breaking tug was built in Baltimore by the Colombian Iron
Works Company. She was built for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in
1898 and originally named Cumberland. She was 149 feet long, had a
27 foot beam and a 15 foot draft. Some sources say that she served
in the North Atlantic during World War II. The Trio Bravo originally
sank in Port Everglades in 1981, but she was raised and donated for
use as an artificial reef. The Trio Bravo was once again sunk as a
reef on December 12, 1982. According to diver Ed Murphy, this wreck
now sits upright and intact in 145 feet of water.
