Description:

A old Steamer and small Naval Cruiser. She was built in England, 1904. On her way to Islamorada in June 1926 she began flooding. The crew and passengers abandoned the ship. This is a remarkable wreck dive with lots to see and explore. She is still intact. She was discovered only 9 years ago and since has been the subject of much archaeological research, and some are attempting to get the wreck listed as a US historic site. She lies at a depth of 66 meters and thus is only accessible to more experienced divers. Visibility tends to be low around the Queen Of Nassau, though the low visibility adds to the mood when diving. She is encrusted in numerous corals and sponges. It is important to note that the wreck lies in a marine sanctuary and thus is a crime to remove any artefacts from her.
