    South Andros shipwreck?

    Saw this off of the east coast of South Andros, Bahamas while "traveling" on Google Earth. I do that a lot during the cold miserable winters in Idaho to keep my sanity. Anyway, it measures about 90' using the Google Earth measuring device. Any thoughts?

    Didnt know that about colors of ballast piles. It just looked somewhat "ship-shaped".

    yea its the right shape just that ballast rock is very dark ..its dark around the borders but light colored inthe middle it could be somew coral or algea growth but tfor some reason coral grows poorly on ballast rock .. i have dove south andros near by being shallow it would have been easy salvage at the time it sank
