Name: Atlas
Type: Tanker
Size: 446' x 58' x 27'
Date Sunk: 4/9/1942
Cause: Torpedoed by U-552
Depth: 80-125ft
Charter Type: offshore roughly 2hr 15min from inlet
Description: The Atlas sits on the East Side. She sits on a silty bottom that is easily stirred up. On lower viz days this wreck has almost a spooky feel. Due to the common sand tiger presence I often refer to this site as Jurassic Park. A reel is highly recommended, as the wreck has aged and the decks have fallen sometimes going from one piece to another can take a leap of faith. Aside from the wildlife some of the wreck highlights are the engine, boilers, rudder post, oil tanks, and anchors.
