Lost 1988 - Former ferry, scuttled as an artificial reef and dive site
The Triton was a 65 ft ferry built and engined in 1960 by Brooke Marine Ltd of Lowestoft, England - the builder's plaque in her engine room said so. After her working life she was given a second career as an artificial reef.
Her scuttling followed a fashion started by the tug King. In 1984 the King became the first vessel deliberately sunk in Bermuda as a dive site, and she drew fish and divers so well that, according to Berg, her success encouraged the sinking of the Hermes and then the Triton. The Bermuda Divers Association cleaned the ferry and made her safe for divers before sending her down in May 1988, roughly seven miles off the south-west side of the island.
Then she went missing. When the Bergs' guide went to press in 1991 the Triton had still not been relocated; Mike Burke expected her to be lying in somewhere between 55 and 80 ft and predicted she would make a good dive once found. No later account of her being found has turned up.
When Berg wrote in 1991, the Triton had not been found again since her scuttling. For a scuttled wreck in the same spirit, the King and the Hermes are popular, well-known dives off the South Shore.
