More commonly known as El Naranjito due to its final, fatal cargo - thousands of oranges. These violently shifted in a storm causing the boat to list and take on water whilst the majority of the crew swam to the shore the Isla Gomera slowly slipped under the sea. At present it sits upright with the propeller on the sand floor on a maximum depth of 42 m. (137 feet) It is about 1.8 miles off Cabo de Palos. (La Manga, Murcia) Only for experienced divers because of very strong currents.
