Summary
Description SS Monte Carlo Shipwreck 2010-01-30 2.jpg |
English:
Photos taken at low-tide on 1/30/2010 of the wreck of the SS Monte Carlo near Coronado Shores, Coronado, California. The
Monte Carlo
was a 300 ft concrete-hulled ship originally launched as the
McKittrick
in 1921 from Wilmington NC. In 1936, the ship was anchored 3 miles of the coast of Point Loma and served as a gambling and prostitution ship, avoiding local laws as it was in international waters. On December 31, 1936, a storm broke the anchor lines, and the ship foundered near the shore and was abandoned by its owners (supposedly, the mob). It's usually buried in the sand, but occasionally turns up in low tides after storms.
