Underwater Domain Exploration of Ramon F. Llaneza using rebreather and mixed gas dive a shipwreck sunk at 305 fsw in Florida. The Vitric a 165-foot long wooden schooner barge, was built in 1911. The ship capsized and sank on March 29, 1944, in an area southeast of Molasses Reef, en route from Havana to West Palm Beach with a cargo of 134,000 gallons of syrup. The wreck, lying in approximately 305 feet of water, was known by fishermen for years as the “Molasses Wreck.” The site is dominated by the numerous syrup containers the vessel carried at the time of her sinking. Not much of the wooden hull is visible above the clean, sugar-white sand bottom. Due to the normally excellent visibility encountered in this area, the entire wreck site is visible from either end. Portholes and other brass fixtures still remain undisturbed among the wreckage. The steering quadrant lies on its side which helps to identify the stern, while the bow is revealed by a large windlass that resides high off the bottom on a section of wreckage and the anchor at the bottom.
