A rusty shipwreck visible from the road between French Harbour and Coxen Hole is very popular among residents of Roatan. Known as "wrecks of Dixon Cove" along with another nearby shipwreck are a heritage of the Bay Islands, an ecosystem and an interesting diving spot. The story tells that in the 70s a storm helped the ship to be stranded inside the channel, and in an attempt to rescue the ship all the wood being carried was offloaded. There are many rumors claiming that the ships where closely related to the Nicaraguan “Sandinista” revolution, which brings mistery to the history behind this shipwreck.
Un naufragio oxidado visible entre la carretera que conduce de French Harbour a Coxen Hole es muy popular entre los residentes de Roatan. Conocido junto con otro naufragio cercano como los “barcos hundidos de Dixon Cove” son un patrimonio de las Islas de la Bahía, un ecosistema y un punto de buceo interesante. La historia cuenta que en los 70s una tormenta contribuyó a que el barco se embancara en la arena del canal, y en un intento por rescatarlo se descargó la madera que transportaba. Son muchos los rumores que aseguran que este barco estaba muy relacionado con la revolución “Sandinista” nicaragüense, lo que trae misterio a la historia detrás de este naufragio.
